loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or dam-
aged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions could
result in electric 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 service center. 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 appliance.
To disconnect power from the mains, pull out the mains cord plug. When
installing the product, ensure that the plug is easily accessible.
