Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only.
w WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided 
with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric 
shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not 
defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any 
way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the 
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician 
replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to 
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a 
longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension 
cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must 
be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must 
be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over 
the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or 
accidentally tripped over.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-
wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.
