This appliance has a polarized alternating current plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, as a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not insert fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still fails to fit, contact a qualified electrician.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT THIS SAFETY FEATURE.

EXTENSION CORD USE

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the electrical rating of the cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
