SAVE THESE 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 is 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.
