POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce
the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to 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.
