Safety Precautions (Continued)

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.

CAUTION: The apparatus should not be exposed to water
(dripping or splashing) and no objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, should be placed on the apparatus.

SERIAL NUMBER: The serial number is found on the back of this
unit. This number is for this unit only. You should record the serial
number in the space provided and retain this guide as a permanent
