WARNING
The appliance should be destined only to the use for which it has been expressly
conceived. Any other use should be considered improper and therefore dangerous.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for injury or damage resulting from
improper, incorrect, and unreasonable use. Failure to service and maintain the
appliance in accordance with this manual will adversely affect safety, performance,
component life, and warranty coverage and may result in costly water damage.
To reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or fi re, follow basic
precautions including the following:
• Only quali¿ ed service technicians should install and service the appliance.
• The appliance must be installed in accordance with applicable national, state, and
local codes and regulations.
• The appliance requires an independent power supply of proper capacity. See
the nameplate for electrical speci¿ cations. Failure to use an independent power
supply of proper capacity can result in a tripped breaker, blown fuse, damage to
existing wiring, or component failure. This could lead to heat generation or ¿ re.
• THE APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED: The appliance is equipped with a
NEMA 5-15 three-prong grounding plug to reduce the risk of potential shock
hazards. It must be plugged into a properly grounded, independent 3-prong wall
outlet. If the outlet is a 2-prong outlet, it is your personal responsibility to have a
quali¿ ed electrician replace it with a properly grounded, independent 3-prong wall
outlet. Do not remove the ground prong from the plug and do not use an adapter
plug. Failure to properly ground the appliance could result in death or serious
injury.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch the control switch or plug with
damp hands. Make sure the control switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging
in or unplugging the appliance.
• Do not use an appliance with a damaged power cord. The power cord should not
be altered, jerked, bundled, weighed down, pinched, or tangled. Such actions
could result in electric shock or ¿ re. To unplug the appliance, be sure to pull the
plug, not the cord, and do not jerk the cord.
• Do not make any alterations to the appliance. Alterations could result in electric
shock, injury, ¿ re, or damage to the appliance.
