GROUNDED PLUG (Canada Models Only) This product is equipped with a grounded plug, which will only fit into a three-prong outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this 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. POLARIZED PLUG (Non Canada models) This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way. ELECTRICAL CORD a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,

1) 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,

2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should

be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and

3) 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. TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
