SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A A short power cord or a detachable power cord is provided to reduce the risk of
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord accidentally.
B Longer detachable power cords or extension cords are available and may be used if
care is exercised in their use.
C If a long detachable power cord or an extension cord is used:
1
the marked electrical rating of the detachable power 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.
3
the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter where
it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. The appliance may
have 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 anyway.
