CAUTION!
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), to reduce the risk of
shock. This plug is intended to fit only one way in a polarized outlet. 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. To do so could result in an electric shock hazard.
