receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit. Never take hold of the plug or cord if your
hand is wet. Always grasp the plug body when connecting or disconnecting it; do not pull from the
cable.

outlet, or correct facility wiring. Do not cut or remove the third pin.

damp cloth should be used for the front panel. There is no need to clean the inside of the unit,
unless performed by an appropriate technician.
