Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is equipped with a polarized
plug. This type of plug has one blade wider
than the other. The plug will fit into an
electrical outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature intended to help reduce the
risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to
insert the plug 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 attempt to defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug by
modifying the plug in any way.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
