ADDITIONAL SAFEGUARDS
This appliance is for
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF
APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.
EXTENSION CORDS
A	 short	 power-supply	 cord	 is	 provided	 to	 reduce	 the	 risk	 resulting	 from	 becoming	
entangled	in	or	tripping	over	a	longer	cord.	Longer	extension	cords	may	be	used	if	care	
is	exercised	in	their	use.	If	a	longer	extension	cord	is	used,
1)	 The	marked	electrical	rating	of	the	extension	cord	should	be	at	least	as	great	as	the	
electrical rating of the appliance, and
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-
type 3-wire cord, and
3)	 The	longer	cord	should	be	arranged	so	that	it	will	not	drape	over	the	countertop	or
	
tabletop	 where	 it	 can	 be	 tripped	 over,	 snagged,	 or	 pulled	 on	 unintentionally	
(especially	by	children).
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This	appliance	must	be	grounded	while	in	use.
CAUTION:	 To	 ensure	 continued	 protection	 against	 risk	 of	 electric	 shock,	 connect	 to	
properly	ground	outlets	only
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS – US ONLY
The	appliance	has	a	plug	that	looks	like	Figure	A.	An	adaptor,	as	shown	in	Figure	B,	should	
be	used	for	connecting	a	3-prong	grounding	plug	to	a	2-wire	receptacle.	The	grounding	
tab,	which	extends	from	the	adaptor,	must	be	connected	to	a	permanent	ground	such	
as	a	properly	grounded	receptacle	as	shown	in	Figure	C,	using	a	metal	screw.
