| of the type described in these instructions or as |
| marked on the unit. |

| power plug where one blade is wider than the other. |
| This safety feature ensures that the plug fits into your |
| household AC outlet only one way. If the plug does- |
| n’t fit one way, try reversing it. If the plug still doesn’t |
| fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete out- |
| let. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of |

| ply cord so that it will not be walked on or pinched by |
| items placed on or against it. Never take hold of the |
| plug or cord with wet hands. Always grasp the plug |
| body firmly when connecting and disconnecting it. |
4. | Overloading— When connecting the AC power sup- |
| ply cord, be careful not to overload the household |
| AC outlet, extension cord, or outlet from any other |
| device as this can result in fire or electric shock. |

| use. Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet if |
| it is not to be used for a long time. Unplug the unit |
