POLARIZED PLUG
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one with the blade wider than the
other). This plug will 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 to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in
any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded
power supply system.
