The charging base for this appliance is equipped with a detachable polarized
plug in which 1 prong is wider than the other. This is a safety feature to reduce the
risk of electrical shock. The plug should be attached to the charging base before
connecting to an electrical outlet. The plug will t into a polarized outlet only one
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 cannot accept any liability for damage or injury
resulting from failure to observe these safety procedures.
