SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
STo reduce the risk of electrical shock, this unit 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 ex- tension 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 a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will re-
quire the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit into the polarized wall out- let 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 electri- cian to install the proper wall outlet. Do not change the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.
