CAUTION concerning the Power Cord

Most appliances recommend they be placed upon a

dedicated circuit;

That is, a single outlet circuit which powers only that

appliance and has no additional outlets or branch cir-

cuits. Check the specification page of this owner's man-

ual to be certain.

Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets,

loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed

power cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation are

dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in elec-

tric shock or fire. Periodically examine the cord of your

appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or

deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance,

and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement

part by an authorized servicer.

Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical

abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in

a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs,

wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appli-

ance.
