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 or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits
loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not
use that outlet.
