THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

CAUTION: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal

injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is required, extension cords are available from local hardware stores and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least 15 A., 125 V.,

1875 W., and (2) the longer 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 accidentally.

POLARIZED PLUG:This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

ELECTRIC POWER: If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances your appliance may not operate pro p e r ly. It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.
