or near children.

taking off parts, and before cleaning.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: The appliance has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric
shock, 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. Do not modify the plug in
any way.
