POLARIZED PLUG (USA/MEXICO)
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.
GROUNDED PLUG (CANADA)
As a safety feature, this product is equipped with
a grounded plug, which will only fit into a three-
prong outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety
feature. Improper connection of the grounding
conductor may result in the risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician if you are in doubt
as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a
tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of
the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or
electric shock, do not attempt to remove the
outer cover. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside. Repair should be done only by
