This unit is for household use only.
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of
becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord. Extensions
cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an exten-
sion cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance. 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.
Polarized plug information.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety
feature, this plug will fit in 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 defeat this safety feature.
