Other Consumer Safety Information

WARNING: Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized
plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock.
The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not

any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully
into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an
electrician replace the outlet.
