INSTRUCTIONS

This product is for household use only.

POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)
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.

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 fire 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
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 or in Latin America by an

authorized service center.
