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.
