Additional Safety &
Operational Information
A short power-supply cord
is provided to reduce the hazards resulting
from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may
be used with care; however, be sure the marked electrical rating is at least
as great as the electrical rating of this appliance. The extension cord
should be positioned such that it does not drape over the counter or table
top 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.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has
one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical outlet
only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk
of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,
try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified
electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way.
This appliance is rated at 1400 watts and should be the only appliance
operating on the circuit.
