When using an electrical furnishing, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
Read all instructions before using (this furnishing).
DANGER - To reduce the risk of electric shock:
1. Always unplug this furnishing from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons:
1. Always unplug this furnishing from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
2. Close supervision is necessary when this furnishing is used by, or near children, invalids, or disabled persons.
3. Use this table only for its intended use as described in these instructions. Do not use attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer.
4. Never operate this table if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or
damaged, or dropped into water.
5. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
6. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
7. Do not use outdoors.
8. Do not operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered.
9. For loading always put heavier items at the bottom and not near the top in order to help prevent the possibility
of the furnishing tipping over.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - Please refer to the attached Installation Instructions and the provided User Guide.
USER-MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS - The receptacle power block is equipped with a circuit breaker that will shut
off power in an overload condition. Press to reset the circuit breaker to restore power.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS (Series 5 only) - This product must be grounded. Connect this appliance to a properly
grounded outlet only. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS (Series 8 only) - To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this furnishing has a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) like the plug illustrated in Figure 1. This plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electricial to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with
a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the product - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
sketch A in Figure 2. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
No adapter should be used with this product.
