Before you start...

Your safety and the safety of
others are very important.
We have provided many important
safety messages in this manual and
on your appliance. Always read and
obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert
symbol.
This symbol alerts you to
potential hazards that can kill or hurt
you and others.
All safety messages will follow the
safety alert symbol and either the

These words mean:
DANGER
You can be killed or seriously
injured if you don't immediately
follow instructions.

injured if you don't follow

All safety messages will tell you
what the potential hazard is, tell you
how to reduce the chance of injury,
and tell you what can happen if the
instructions are not followed.

and ordinances. Failure to meet codes
and ordinances could lead to fire or
