The Basics

9.Operate this appliance using only the power source indicated on its marking label. If you are not sure of your home's power type, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.

10.This appliance is equipped with a polarized power cord plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other).This plug will fit in the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you cannot insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still doesn’t fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

11.Route power-supply cords so they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

12.Clean only as recommended by the manufacturer.

13.An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

14.Unplug the power cord from the outlet when you know that you will not be using the appliance for a long period of time.

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

16.Never push objects of any kind into this 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.
