SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
This product is for household use only.
GROUNDED PLUG
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
1. A short power cord is provided to reduce the  risk resulting from  becoming entangled in or 
tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer 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:
a) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or  extension cord should be at least  as great as 
the electrical rating of the appliance, and
b) If the appliance is of the grounded type,  the extension cord should be a grounding 
3-wire cord,
c)  The 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 unintentionally. 
d) Outdoor extension cords should be used  with outdoor use products and are surface 
marked with the suffix letter “W” and with 
a tag stating,  “SUITABLE FOR USE WITH 
OUTDOOR APPLIANCES”.
e) The extension cord should be kept dry and  off the ground.
f ) Store product indoors when not in use – out  of reach of children.
