FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
Notes on the Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, 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 modify the plug in any way.
Notes on the Cord
A. A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
B. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
C. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
- The marked electrical rating of the cord set, or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
- If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
- The longer 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.
Plasticizer Warning
CAUTION: To prevent plasticizers from migrating to the finish of the countertop or tabletop or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters or place mats between the appliance and the finish of the countertop or tabletop. Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken, permanent blemishes may occur, or stains can appear.
Electric Power
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not remove this cover. No user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done by authorized service personnel only.
