Safety
1. Power Source—The unit should be connected to a power
supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or
as marked on the unit. If you are not sure of the type of power
supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local pow-
er
company.
2. Polarization—If the unit is equipped with a polarized AC power
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), that plug will
fit into the AC 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 electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the polarized plug.
3. Power Cord Protection—AC 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. Never take hold of the plug
or cord if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug body when
connecting or disconnecting it.
4. Overloading—Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords
as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
5. Nonuse Periods—When the unit is not being used, turn the
power off. When left unused for a long time, the unit should be
unplugged from the household AC outlet.
6. Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by
the unit manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

example, near a bathtub, washbowl, swimming pool, or the like.
Damp basements should also be avoided.
