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 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.

To disconnect power from the mains, pull out the mains cord plug.
When installing the product, ensure that the plug is easily accessi­ble.
