age 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,

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
