This appliance is for
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
. It may be plugged into an AC electrical
outlet (ordinary household current). Do not use any other electrical outlet.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE, OR IF APPLIANCE
WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords
are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-
supply cord or extension cord is used;
1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the appliance, and
2) The 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.
If the power-supply cord is a grounding-type-3-wire cord with a grounding prong on the plug,
the extension cord should also be a grounding-type-3-wire cord.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock.
The appliance is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding-type plug to fit
the proper grounding-type receptacle.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS – US ONLY
The appliance has a plug that looks like Figure A. An adaptor, as shown in Figure B, should be
used for connecting a 3-prong grounding plug to a 2-ground receptacle. The grounding tab,
which extends from the adaptor, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box as shown in Figure C, using a metal screw.
LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS
1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.
3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found,
this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord replaced.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undo stress on
the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.
