PRECAUTIONS

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.

 

 

 

 

Safety

 

 

1.

Power Source— The unit should be connected to a power

 

 

started

 

 

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

Getting

 

 

power company.

2.

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 left unused for a long time, the unit should be un-

 

 

 

 

plugged from the household AC outlet.

 

 

6.

Attachments— Do not use attachments not recommended by

 

 

 

 

the unit manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
