IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Before the appliance is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as
described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. To reduce the risk of fire,
electrical shock, or injury when using the appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet, do not remove the grounding prong, do not use an adapter,

It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your appliance be provided. Use
receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.

explosion. And do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

Unplug the appliance or disconnect the power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can
result in electrical shock or death.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically recommended
in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
