SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

1.  This unit includes a short power-supply cord in order to reduce the risks that result 

from becoming entangled in or from tripping over a longer cord.

2.  Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If an extension cord is used:
 

a.  The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as 

the electrical rating of the appliance;

 

b. If the appliance is of the grounded type, then the extension cord should be a  

 

    grounding type 3-wire cord; and

 

c.  The longer cord should be arranged in such a fashion that it will not drape over 

the counter top or table top where it can be pulled by children or tripped over.

LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS

1.   Never pull or yank on the appliance or on the appliance cord.
2. To insert the plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into an outlet.
3. To disconnect the appliance, grasp the plug and remove it from the outlet.
4.  Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are 

found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord replaced. 
Please return the appliance to an authorized service representative.

5.  Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance.  This could place undue stress on 

the cord at the point where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE 
OR IF THE APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

CAUTION:

 To ensure continued protection against the risk of electric shock, only 

connect to properly grounded outlets.

IMPORTANT: 

During the first few minutes of initial use, you may notice smoke and/

or a slight odor. This is normal and should quickly disappear. It will not recur after the 
appliance has been used a few more times.

This appliance is not intended for use by children or by persons with reduced physical, 
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are 
supervised or have been given instruction on proper use of the appliance by a person 
responsible for their safety.
