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 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.
GROUNDED PLUG (Canada models only)
As a safety feature, this product is equipped with a grounded plug, which will 
only fit 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 qualified 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 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. In Latin America, by an authorized service center.
