This appliance has a 3-prong (grounding) plug for use in a 3-prong (grounding)
outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock. This appliance should only be
used with a 120V, 60Hz grounded outlet. Failure to follow these instructions could
result in fire, electrical shock, serious injury or death.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install a
3-prong (grounding) outlet. Do NOT attempt to modify the plug in any way. Do NOT
use an adapter or an extension cord that is not rated for use with this product. Failure
to follow these instructions could result in fire, electrical shock, serious injury or death.
Short Cord Instructions
1. A short cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in
or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long detachable power cord or extension cord is used:
• The 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.
• If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be the
same type 3-wire.
• 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
To prevent plasticizers from migrating from the finish of the countertop or tabletop or
other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coaster or placemats between the appliance
and the finish of the countertop or tabletop. Failure to do so may cause the nish
to darken. Permanent blemishes may occur or stains can appear.
