POLARIZED PLUG
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.
ELECTRIC CORD
ELECTRIC CORD
a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply
cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension
cords are available and may be used if care is exercised
in their use.
c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord
is used,
1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-
supply cord or extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
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
pulled on by children or tripped over.
Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be
replaced by qualified personnel; in Latin America, by an
authorized service center.
