INSTRUCTIONS

This product is for household use only.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). 

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.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to 

prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric 

shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-

serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized 

service personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD

a)  A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be 

provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or 

tripping over a longer cord.

b)  Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are 

available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

c)  If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,

1)  The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply 

cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical 

rating of the appliance,

2)  If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord 

should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and

3)  The longer 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.

Note:

 If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by 

qualified personnel; in Latin America, by an authorized service center.
