voltages may result in fire or electrical shock.
• Do not place heavy objects on, pull or excessively bend, twist or tie the power cord. Damaged wires
may cause fire or electrical shock.
• Unplug the power cord from the outlet periodically and use a dry cloth to clean the area around the
base of the outlet to ensure that all dust is removed. Also do not plug in/unplug the power cord with
wet hands. Fire or electrical shock may result.
