Safety  
Maintenance  
1. Power source—Connect the unit to a power source of the type  
described in these instructions or as marked on the unit.  
2. Polarization—The unit is equipped with a polarized power plug  
where one blade is wider than the other. This safety feature  
ensures that the plug fits into your household AC outlet only one  
way. If the plug doesn’t fit one way, try reversing it. If the plug  
still doesn’t fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete  
outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the plug.  
3. Power cord protection—Route the AC power supply cord so  
that it will not be walked on or pinched by items placed on or  
against it. Never take hold of the plug or cord with wet hands.  
Always grasp the plug body firmly when connecting and  
disconnecting it.  
(See page 15 for details.)  
Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet before cleaning.  
Clean with a damp cloth.  
Do not use abrasive pads, scouring powders, or solvents.

servicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer or parts that  
have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized  
substitutes may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

perform safety checks to confirm that the unit is in proper working  
condition.
