HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce
the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to
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. Do not attempt to defeat this safety
feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC
outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.
