IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS.
 When using electrical appliances, always follow basic safety precautions to 
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury, including the following:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
This product is for household use only.
POLARIZED PLUG (USA/MEXICO)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade 
is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of 
electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into 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 attempt to modify the plug in any way.
GROUNDED PLUG (CANADA)
As a safety feature, this product is equipped with 
a grounded plug, which will only fit into a three-
prong outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety 
feature. Improper connection of the grounding 
conductor may result in the risk of electric shock. 
Consult a qualified electrician if you are in doubt 
as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a 
tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of 
the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or 
electric shock, do not attempt to remove the 
outer cover. There are no user-serviceable 
parts inside. Repair should be done only by 
authorized service personnel. ELECTRICAL CORD
a)   A short power-supply cord is provided to 
reduce the risks resulting from becoming 
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) Extension cords are available and may be 
used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If an extension cord is used:
  1)   The marked electrical rating of the extension 
cord should be at least as great as the 
electrical rating of the appliance;
  2)   If the appliance is of the grounded type, the 
extension cord should be a grounding-type 
3-wire cord; and
  3)   The cord should be arranged so that it will 
not drape over the counter top or tabletop 
where it can be pulled on by children or 
tripped over.
Note : If the power cord is damaged, please 
contact the warranty department listed in these 
instructions.
