outlet (one slot is wider than the
other). Do not modify the polar
ized plug to fit a non-polarized

when it is plugged in. Unplug
from outlet when not in use
and before servicing.

cord as a handle, close a door on

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.
