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 service center. 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.
