The cord must also be: (1) marked with an electrical rating of 125 V. and at least 10 A., 1250 W., and (2) arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. POLARIZED PLUG: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in 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 electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. ELECTRIC POWER: If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.
