This appliance is intended for household use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has one blade
wider than the other.The plug will fit into an electrical outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable
to insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to
fit, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way.
