CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, match

the wide blade of this plug to the wide slot, fully
insert. Do not use this (polarized) plug with an
extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the

exposure.

12.Power-Cord Protection - 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, paying particular attention to cords
and plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the appliance.

as recommended by the manufacturer.

- Care should be taken
so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled
into the enclosure through openings.

17.Damage Requiring Service - The appliance
should be serviced by qualified service personnel
when:

A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been
damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has spilled into
the appliance; or

C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate
