Shock Hazard
■
Do not immerse this appliance in water or other
liquid.
■
This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade)
that reduces the risk of electrical shock. The plug fits
only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug
in any way or using an adaptor. If the plug does not
fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an
electrician replace the outlet.
