POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug, which means that one blade is wider than
the other. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is designed to fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If plug does not fully fit into the outlet, reverse it.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify
the plug.
