Volts: 120 V.A.C. Hertz: 60 Hz NOTE: The Water Kettle has a 3 prong grounded plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug will t in an outlet only one way. If the plug does not t in the outlet, contact a qualied electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way. Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualied electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance. A short power supply cord (or detachable power supply cord) should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used. If a longer detachable power supply cord or extension cord is used: - The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. - If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding- type 3-wire cord. - 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.
