Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household
use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized
plug. This type of plug has one blade wider
than the other. The plug will fit into an
electrical outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature intended to help reduce the risk of
electrical shock. If you are unable to insert
the plug into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact
a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete
outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug by
modifying the plug in any way.
The length of the cord used on this appli-
ance was selected to reduce the hazards of
becoming tangled in, or tripping over a
longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an
approved extension cord may be used. The
electrical rating of the extension cord must
be equal to or greater than the rating of the

nicking edges. If the door has a scratch or
nick, call our toll-free customer assistance
