ADDITIONAL SAFEGUARDS

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. It may be plugged into an AC electrical outlet (ordinary household current).

A short power-supply cord is provided 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 care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used;

1)The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and

2)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.

If the power-supply cord is a grounding-type-3-wire cord with a grounding prong on the plug, the extension cord should also be a grounding-type-3-wire cord.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock. The appliance is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding-type plug to fit the proper grounding-type receptacle. WARNING!
