Important Safeguards
—Continued
17.
Overloading
—Do not overload wall outlets, exten-
sion cords, or integral convenience receptacles as
this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
18.
Object and Liquid Entry
—Never push objects of
any kind into the appliance through openings as they
may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out
parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the appliance.
19.
Servicing
—Do not attempt to service the appliance
yourself as opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.
20.
Damage Requiring Service
—Unplug the appliance
from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:
A. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into
the appliance,
C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water,
D. If the appliance does not operate normally by follow-
ing the operating instructions. Adjust only those con-
trols that are covered by the operating instructions as
an improper adjustment of other controls may result
in damage and will often require extensive work by
a qualified technician to restore the appliance to its
normal operation,
E. If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any
way, and
F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in per-
formance – this indicates a need for service.

repairs to the appliance, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that the appli-
ance is in proper operation condition.
