Important Safeguards
Always follow these important safeguards:
1
Read all of these instructions before using your unit.
2
Plug the power cord into a 3-conductor (grounded) outlet rated for at
least 20 amperes.
•
Never ground the power cord to a gas pipe or a water pipe.
•
Keep the power cord away from hot surfaces.
•
Avoid using an extension cord if possible.
•
If you must use an extension cord, use only a 3-conductor cord rated
for at least 20 amperes. Power cords rated for less can overheat and
become a fire hazard.
3
Do not operate your unit if any part of it is damaged, or if any part has
been dropped, until it is checked by an authorized Lanier Service
Technician.
4
The fusing area is hot. Exercise care in this area.
5
Do not install your unit in areas that are:
•
Damp or humid
•
Exposed to direct sunlight
•
Extremely dusty
•
Poorly ventilated
•
Subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, for example, near an air conditioner or heater
