This appliance has a polarized plug. (One blade is wider than the other.) To re-

does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety
feature.
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed
to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the
following:
