SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
S
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this
unit has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other) and will require the
use of a polarized extension cord. The
appliance plug will fit into a polarized ex-
tension 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 re-
quire the use of a polarized wall outlet.
This plug will fit into the polarized wall out-
let only one way. If plug does not fit fully
into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electri-
cian to install the proper wall outlet. Do not
change the equipment plug, extension
cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in
any way.
