HOW TO CLEAN

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from

becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

2. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in

their use.

3. If a longer extension cord is used:

a. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as

great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

b. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the

counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over

unintentionally.

This appliance has a

polarized plug

(one blade is wider than the other); follow

the instructions below:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized

outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the

plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to

modify the plug in any way.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its

service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

This appliance is for household use only.
