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.
17. Move appliance and cart combinations with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause the appliance and cart combination to
overturn.
18. Unplug this appliance from the wall outlet and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
• When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
• If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into
the appliance.
• If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water.
• If the appliance does not operate normally by
following the operating instructions. Adjust only
those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions, as an improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often require
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore
the appliance to normal operation.
• If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in
any way.
• When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in
performance.
19. Do not attempt to service this appliance yourself,
as opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing
to qualified service personnel.
20. When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or have the same
characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.
21. Upon completion of any service or repairs to this
appliance, ask the service technician to perform safety
checks to determine that the appliance is in proper
operating condition.
