If the male plug will not go into the receptacle on the appliance, rotate the male plug 180° IMPORTANT: Should the male plug become detached from the appliance during use, it is important to: 1. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. 2. Turn off the appliance at the control panel. 3. Re-attach the power cord to the appliance. 4. Re-connect to power outlet. 5.
