CAUTION:

 

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE 

COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER 

SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

WARNING:

 

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, 

DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

Handle the Power Cord Gently

To disconnect the plug from the AC outlet, pull on the plug itself,
not on the cord. Pulling the cord may break the wire.

  Disconnect the plug from the AC outlet whenever the unit is to be

left unused for an extended period of time.

  Do not place furniture or other heavy objects on the cord, and

avoid dropping heavy objects on it. Also, do not make a knot 
in the cord; this can damage it and cause a fire hazard.

The lightning flash with arrowhead 
symbol, within an equalateral triangle, 
is intended to alert the user to the 

presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” 
within the product’s enclosure that may be of 
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of 
electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an 
equilateral triangle is intended to 
alert the user to the presence of 

important operating and maintenance 
(servicing) instructions in the literature 
accompanying the appliance.
