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.

[

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

Polarization--If the unit is equipped with a polarized AC power

plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), that plug will 4.

fit into the AC outlet only one way. This is a safety feature, if you

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.
