8. Do not place objects on the power cord.
Install the unit where no one can step or trip on
the cord.
9. Do not overload wall outlets and extension
cords as this can result in the risk of fire or elec-
tric shock.
10. Never push objects of any kind into this
product through cabinet slots as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short out
parts that could result in the risk of fire or elec-
tric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on this
product.
11. To reduce the risk of electric shock or burns,
do not disassemble this product. Take it to a
qualified service center when service is
required. Opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltages, dangerous
electrical current or other risks. Incorrect reas-
sembly can cause electric shock when the appli-
ance is subsequently used.
12. Unplug the product from the wall outlet and
refer servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions:
a.) When the power cord is damaged or frayed.
b.) If liquid has been spilled into the product.
c.) If the product has been exposed to rain or
water.
d.) If the product does not operate normally by
following the operating instructions. Adjust only
those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions because improper adjustment of
other controls may result in damage and may
require extensive work by a qualified technician
to restore the product to normal operation.
e.) If the product has been dropped or physi-
cally has been damaged.
f.) If the product exhibits a distinct change in

a remote risk of electrical shock from lightning.
Therefore we suggest a surge arrestor.
14. Do not use the telephone to report a gas
leak in the vicinity of the leak.
15. Emergency/911 numbers may not be dialed
