persons, including the following:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one

wide blade) that reduces 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.
