WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized
plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electrical shock. The
plug fits only one way into a polarized 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 fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, 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. 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.
The electrical rating of this appliance is listed on the bottom panel
of the unit.
The strainer basket is a delicate screen. If bent or damaged, do not
use, as it could break into small pieces and cause personal injury and/
