WARNING!
Shock Hazard: This product is provided with either a
polarized (one wide blade) or grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce the
risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized or
grounded 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. If the appliance is of the
grounding type, the extension cord must also be a grounding-type,
3-wire cord. 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.
OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
17.
Always allow the appliance to cool down completely before
putting it away and never wind the cord around the appliance
while it is still hot.
