Important Safeguards

1. Read Instructions – All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated.

2. Retain Instructions – The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings – All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions – All operating and use instructions should be followed.

5. Cleaning – Unplug the appliance from the wall out- let before cleaning. The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer.

6. Attachments – Do not use attachments not recom- mended by the appliance manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7. Water and Moisture – Do not use the appliance near water –for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.

8. Accessories – Do not place the appliance on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The appliance may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table rec- ommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the appliance. Any mounting of the appliance should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

9.An appliance and cart com- bination should be moved

with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combina- tion to overturn.

10.Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable oper- ation of the appliance and to protect it from over- heating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. The appliance should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided. There should be free space of at least 20 cm (8 in.) and an open- ing behind the appliance.

11.Power Sources – The appliance should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.

12.Grounding or Polarization – The appliance may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power 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 electri- cian to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

13.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 at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

14.Lightning – For added protection for the appliance during a lightning storm, or when it is left unat- tended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the appli- ance due to lightning and power-line surges.

15.Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, exten- sion cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

16.Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into the appliance through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short- out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the appliance.

17.Servicing – Do not attempt to service the appliance yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
