l PRECAUTIONS J

Before using this unit please read these operating instructions care-

fully. Take special care to follow the warnings indicated on the unit

itself as well as the safety suggestions listed below.
Afterwards keep them handy for future reference.

1. Power Source--The unit should be connected to a power
supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or
as marked on the unit. If you are not sure of the type of power
supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local
power company.

Polarization--If the unit is equipped with a polarized AC power

plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), that plug will
fit into the AC outlet only one way. This is a safety feature, if you
are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the

plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to

replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the polarized plug.

3. Power Cord Protection--AC power supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them. Never take hold of the plug or
cord if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug body when

connecting or disconnecting it.

4. Overloading--Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords
as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

5. Nonuse Periods--When the unit is not being used, turn the pow-
er off. When lelt unused for a long time, the unit should be un-

plugged from the household AC outlet.
