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.
