25.Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Call the Technical Service number, 866-285-1087or 910-693-4277, for instructions on examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

26.If the supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similar qualified person. If fitted with a non-rewirable U.K. plug, the 13 amp fuse approved by ASTA to be B.S. 1362 must be used. If you need a replacement fuse carrier, it must be replaced by the same colour coded carrier with the same markings. Fuse covers and carriers can be obtained from approved service agents. IMPORTANT: If the molded plug is cut off, dispose of it immediately. The plug is not rewirable and would cause a shock hazard if inserted into a socket.
