This appliance is intended for household use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug
has one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce
the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into
the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do
not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by
modifying the plug in any way.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, keep hair and loose
clothing away from lid opener and other moving parts of the can
opener while using.
