PRECAUTIONS

Before using this unit please read these operating instructions care-
fully. Take special care to follow the warnings indicated on the unit
itself as well as the safety suggestions listed below.
Afterwards keep them handy for future reference.

Safety

1. Power Source—The unit should be connected to a power

supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or
as marked on the unit. If you are not sure of the type of power
supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local
power company.

2. Polarization—If the unit is equipped with a polarized AC power

plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), that plug will
fit into the AC outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the polarized plug.

3. Power Cord Protection—AC power supply cords should be

routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them. Never take hold of the plug or
cord if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug body when
connecting or disconnecting it.

4. Overloading—Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords

as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

5. Nonuse Periods—When the unit is not being used, turn the pow-

er off. When left unused for a long time, the unit should be un-
plugged from the household AC outlet.

6. Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by

the unit manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
