supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
•
•The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to
prevent accidental injury.

performance and also preventsoverloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire
hazard from overheated. Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord. Always
grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately
all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that
shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the
appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.
