than the other. This is a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock. The
plug will t into a polarized outlet only 1 way. If you are unable to insert the plug
into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied
electrician. DO NOT attempt to modify the plug in any way. Montgomery Ward can
not accept any liability for damage or injury resulting from failure to observe these
safety procedures.
