Important Safeguards
1.
Read Instructions
– All the safety and operating
instructions should be read before the appliance is
operated.
2.
Retain Instructions
– The safety and operating
instructions should be retained for future reference.
3.
Heed Warnings
– All warnings on the appliance and
in the operating instructions should be adhered to.
4.
Follow Instructions
– All operating and use
instructions should be followed.
5.
Cleaning
– Unplug the appliance from the wall out-
let before cleaning. The appliance should be cleaned
only as recommended by the manufacturer.
6.
Attachments
– Do not use attachments not recom-
mended by the appliance manufacturer as they may
cause hazards.
7.
Water and Moisture
– Do not use the appliance near
water –for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl,
kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or
near a swimming pool; and the like.
8.
Accessories
– Do not place the appliance on an
unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The
appliance may fall, causing serious injury to a child
or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use
only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table rec-
ommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the
appliance. Any mounting of the appliance should
follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should
use a mounting accessory recommended by the
manufacturer.
9. An appliance and cart com-
bination should be moved
with care. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the
appliance and cart combina-
tion to overturn.
10.
Ventilation
– Slots and openings in the cabinet are
provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable oper-
ation of the appliance and to protect it from over-
heating, and these openings must not be blocked or
covered. The openings should never be blocked by
placing the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other
similar surface. The appliance should not be placed
in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack
unless proper ventilation is provided. There should
be free space of at least 20 cm (8 in.) and an open-
ing behind the appliance.
11.
Power Sources
– The appliance 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 to your home, consult your appliance
dealer or local power company.
12.
Grounding or Polarization
– The appliance 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 electri-
cian to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
13.
Power-Cord Protection
– 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 at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the appliance.
14.
Lightning
– For added protection for the appliance
during a lightning storm, or when it is left unat-
tended and unused for long periods of time, unplug
it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or
cable system. This will prevent damage to the appli-
ance due to lightning and power-line surges.
15.
Overloading
– Do not overload wall outlets, exten-
sion cords, or integral convenience receptacles as
this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
16.
Object and Liquid Entry
– Never push objects of
any kind into the appliance 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 appliance.
17.
Servicing
– Do not attempt to service the appliance
yourself as opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.
