The instructions are correct. This is how another source explains it:
Enter your Social Security number in Part 1. The IRS prefers that you use your SSN, although it is permissible to enter an employee identification number (EIN) that you’ve obtained in your capacity as a sole proprietor. This is not, however, the same EIN which you may have obtained for the LLC. In other words, unless you obtained more than one EIN, just use your SSN.
