Electric Power

1Power sources — Connect this unit only to power sources specified in the Operating

Instructions, and as marked on the unit.

2Polarization — As a safety feature, some units are equipped with polarized AC power plugs

the AC power plug into an outlet, turn the plug over and try again. If it still does not easily
insert into the outlet, please call a qualified service technician to service or replace the outlet.
To avoid defeating the safety feature of the polarized plug, do not force it into a power outlet.
