SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
Power Cord
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over
a long cord. An extension cord may be used with care; however, be sure the marked electrical rating is
equal to or greater than the rating of this appliance. The extension cord should be positioned such that it
does not drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. The
electrical rating of this appliance is listed on the bottom panel of the unit.
Polarized Plug
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 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. NOTE: During
initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odour may be detected. This is normal with many
heating appliances and will not recur after a few uses.
