IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS.

When using electrical appliances, always follow basic safety precautions to

reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury, including the following:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

This product is for household use only.

POLARIZED PLUG (USA/MEXICO)

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 t into a polarized

outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully

into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not

t, contact a qualied electrician. Do not attempt

to modify the plug in any way.

GROUNDED PLUG (CANADA)

As a safety feature, this product is equipped with

a grounded plug, which will only t into a three-

prong outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety

feature. Improper connection of the grounding

conductor may result in the risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualied electrician if you are in doubt

as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Warning: This appliance is equipped with a

tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of

the outer cover. To reduce the risk of re or

electric shock, do not attempt to remove the

outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts

inside. Repair should be done only by authorized

service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to

reduce the risk resulting from becoming

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

2. Extension cords are available and may be used

if care is exercised in their use.

3. If an extension cord is used:

a) The marked electrical rating of the extension

cord should be at least as great as the

electrical rating of the appliance.

b) If the appliance is of the grounded type,

the extension cord should be a grounding

3-wire cord.

c) The longer cord should be arranged so

that it will not drape over the counter top or

tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or

unintentionally tripped over.

Note: If the power cord is damaged, it should be

replaced by qualified personnel; in Latin America,

by an authorized service center.
