FOR ALL DOUBLE-INSULATED
APPLIANCES
1. Replacement Parts: when servicing use only identical replacement parts.
2. Polarized Appliance Connections: to reduce the risk of electric shock, this
appliance has a polarized plug (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 into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit,
obtain the correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord
will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit into the
polarized wall outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the
wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug 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.
