THIS APPLIANCE HAS A
POLARIZED PLUG.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
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 a proper outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way.
This model is for household use only.
