WARNING
Shock Hazard
• Do not immerse this appliance in water or other liquid.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that
reduces the risk of electrical shock. The plug fits only one way
into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
plug by modifying the plug in any way or using an adaptor. If the
plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an
electrician replace the outlet.
