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.
