into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified elec-
trician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
and (2) the 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 unintentionally.

appliances, your appliance may not operate properly. It should be
operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.
