result in electric shock or fire. Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, 
and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue 
use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement 
part by an authorized service center.
Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twist-
ed, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention 
to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appliance.
To disconnect power from the mains, pull out the mains cord plug. When install-
ing the product, ensure that the plug is easily accessible.
