WARNING!
Fire and Electric Shock
The following warnings may result in fire or electric shock and cause serious injury.
• This unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of
the type of power supply you plan to use, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. For units intended to
operate from battery power or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
• This unit may be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other).
This plug will fit into the power 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. Alternately, this unit may be equipped with a 3-wire grounding-
type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
• 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, paying particular attention to cords and plugs, convenience overhead power lines or other electric light
or power circuits or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.
• Never push objects of any kind into this unit through openings, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short
out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the unit.
• Do not overload outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
• Always unplug the unit from the outlet before cleaning.
• Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or
other hazards. If service is required, unplug the unit from the outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
Conditions requiring service may include:
◦ When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
◦ If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the unit.
◦ If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.
◦ If the unit does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions, as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to its normal operation.
◦ If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
◦ When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates a need for service.
• When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, serious injury, other hazards, or death.
NOTICE
• Do not run chemicals through the appliance such as cleaning agents or aroma additives. These clog the water ways
and leave deposits. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
• To avoid steamer burnout do not test run the appliance dry.
• Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
• Require users to inspect equipment and test critical safety features before each day of use. If equipment is in need of
repair, please send the unit in for inspection and repair. Prior to sending the unit in, please call in for a RMA (Return
Merchandise Authorization) number. Upon completion of any service or repairs to this unit, ask the service technician
to perform safety checks to determine that the unit is safe to operate.
• Openings are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of the unit, and to protect it from overheating. These
openings must not be blocked or covered. This unit should not be placed in a built-in installation unless proper
ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
• For added protection of this unit during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the cable system. This will prevent damage to the unit due to
lightning and power line surges.
