Other Consumer Safety Information
This product is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This product is provided with a grounded
(3-prong) plug to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only
one way into a grounded outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If
the plug does not fit into the outlet, have an electrician replace the
outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce
the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be
used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to
or greater than the rating of the appliance. The extension cord must
be a grounding-type, 3-wire cord. Care must be taken to arrange
the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped
over.
