CAUTION concerning the Power cord
•
Most appliances recommend they be placed upon a dedicated circuit; that is, a single
outlet circuit which powers only that appliance and has no additional outlets or branch
circuits.
Check the specification page of this owner's manual to be certain.
• Do not overload wall outlets.
Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets,
extension cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation are
dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in an electric shock or fire.
• Periodically examine the cord of your appliance,
and if its appearance indicates
damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord
replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer.
• Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse,
such as being twisted,
kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs,
wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appliance.
If the appliance is supplied from a cord extension set or an electrical portable outlet
device, the cord extension set on electrical portable outlet device must be positioned
so that it is not subject to splashing or ingress of moisture.
