SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
• This appliance is intended for household use only.
• Make sure the voltage in your outlet is the same as the voltage indicated on the
appliance’s rating label.
• The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards
of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a long cord.
• For safety it is not recommended to use an electrical extension cord with
this appliance.

FOR 120-V AND 127-V MARKETS ONLY
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). This plug fits a polarized outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. 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 defeat this safety feature.
