To reduce the risk of electric shock, this 

appliance has a polarized plug (one blade 

is wider than the other). This plug will 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 

electrician to install a proper outlet. Do not 

change the plug in any way.

This model is for household use only.
