IMPORTANT CORD INFORMATION
Connect the power supply cord to a polarized outlet only.As a safety feature, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug will only fit in a polarized outlet one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
A short power supply cord (or cord set) is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord. extension cords may be used if care is properly exercised in their use.
If an extension 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 extension 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.
