Polarization Instructions

POWER CORD, 2-WIRE POLARIZED CORD

Household models: X9 & G9

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this product is equipped with a polarized alternating

current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the

power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully

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 defeat the safety purpose of the

polarized plug.
