- To reduce the likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate another
high wattage appliance on the same circuit.

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
electrican. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
- A loose fit between wall outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause
overheating and distortion of the plug. Discontinue use of the product
in this outlet. Contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or worn
outlets.
