• T his appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has one blade
that is wider than the other. This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.

are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, reverse the plug and try again. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not

any way.
