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.
To disconnect power from the mains, pull out the mains cord
plug. When installing the product, ensure that the plug is
easily accessible.
