SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This product is for household use only.
Polarized Plug (120V models only): This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other) for electric shock reduction. It fits into a polarized outlet only one way. If it doesn't fit, reverse the plug. If it still doesn't fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug.
Tamper-Resistant Screw: This appliance has a tamper-resistant screw to prevent outer cover removal. Do not attempt to remove the outer cover to reduce fire or electric shock risk. No user-serviceable parts inside; repair by authorized personnel only.
Electrical Cord: A short cord reduces entanglement/tripping risks. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised, ensuring their electrical rating is at least equal to the appliance's, they are grounding-type if the appliance is grounded, and they are arranged to prevent tripping.
