not in use, use the product controls to turn off the power
and then unplug. To disconnect from outlet, grasp and pull
only the plug. Also, power off and unplug if the product will
be left unattended for an extended period of time or during
electrical storms.
SERVICING WARNING—To reduce risk of re, electrical
shock and injury to persons, observe the following:
- Clean your product regularly, only as is instructed in this

CLEANING instructions provided.
- Do not open appliance housing while product is plugged in.
To avoid risk of shock, all service and/or repairs must be done

replacement fuse blows, a short-circuit may be present and
the product should be discarded or returned to an authorized
service facility for examination and/or repair.
