• To clean cabinet, unplug AC power

cord, then use a soft cloth dampened only with water.

• Do not place lighted candles, ciga-

rettes, cigars, etc. on the product.

cord when your hands are wet or damp

• Carts and Stands —

The appliance should be used only with a cart or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.

product should be serviced by qualiﬁ ed service personnel when:

A. The power supply cord or the

plug has been damaged; or

B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has

been spilled into the product; or

C. The product has been exposed to

rain; or

D. The product does not appear

to operate normally or exhibits a

marked change in performance; or

or the cabinet damaged.

• When service or repairs are com-

pleted, ask the service technician to perform the safety check described in the service manual and to conﬁ rm that replacement parts have the same safety characteristics as the original parts.

• Overloading - Do not overload the wall outlets, extension cords or inte-

gral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of ﬁ re or electric shock.

• IF YOUR PRODUCT OPERATES ON BATTERIES, adhere to the follow-

ing precautions:

A. Any battery may leak electrolyte

if mixed with a different battery

type, if inserted incorrectly, or if all batteries are not replaced at the same time.

B. Any battery may leak electrolyte

or explode if disposed of in ﬁ re or
