18. To avoid injury by accidentally switching on the appliance when inserting the beaters, dough hooks or whisk attachments, always set the switch to the "Off" position and unplug the appliance before assembling or disassembling.

Note: An extension cord may be used if you are careful in its use:

1. The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
