To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other) and will require the use of a polarized extension
cord. The plug will fit into a polarized extension cord only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not
fit, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will
require the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit into the polarized wall
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the
plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper
wall outlet. Do not change the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or
