SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is intended for house-
hold use only.
This appliance is equipped with a ground-
ed- type 3-wire cord (3-prong plug). This
type of plug will only fit into an electrical
outlet made for a 3-prong plug. This is a
safety feature intended to help reduce the
risk of electrical shock. If the plug should
fail to fit contact a qualified electrician to
replace the obsolete outlet. Do not
attempt to defeat the safety purpose of
the grounding pin by modifying the plug in
any way.
The length of the cord used on this appli-
ance 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 exten-
sion cord must be equal to or greater
than the rating of the drink mixer. Care
must be taken to arrange extension cord
so that it will not drape over countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or accidentally tripped over.
