To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
appliance has a polarized plug (one

contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper outlet. Do not change the plug in
any way.
After you plug the power cord into the
outlet, turn the unit on by pushing the
switch from position "O" to position "l".
The symbols used on the switch actuator
are international "On & Off" symbols. "O"
is the symbol for "OFF" and "l" is the
