REPAIR SHOULD BE DONE BY AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY POLARIZED PLUG This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only 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 or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet. POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS: A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) may be provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable powersupply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used: a. T he marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance; b. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding type 3-wire cord; and c. T he longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. 3
