SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

POLARIZED PLUG:
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to 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 attempt to defeat this feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm, do not use that outlet.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

AN EXTENSION CORD MAY BE USED IF CARE IS EXERCISED IN THEIR USE:

• Minimize the risk of overheating by using the shortest UL or ETL-listed cord possible.
• The marked electrical rating must be at least as great as that of the product.
• Never use a single extension cord to operate more than one appliance.
• Arrange the longer cord so it will not drape over a countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over, snagged, or pulled on unintentionally (especially by children).
• DO NOT alter the plug. DO NOT attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
