(one blade is wider than the other) and
will require the use of a polarized
extension cord. The appliance plug will
fit into a polarized extension cord only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully

the use of a polarized wall outlet. This
plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet
only one way. If plug does not fit fully
into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper wall
outlet. Do not change the equipment
plug, extension cord receptacle, or
extension cord plug in any way.
