Connect power cord only to AC power source as  
marked on the product.  
Some products employ a polarized AC line plug  
(one blade is wider). This is a safety feature. The  
plug will go in the power outlet only one way. If  
the plug doesn’t go into the outlet completely,  
turn the plug over and put it in the other way. If  
it still doesn’t fit, contact a qualified electrician to  
change the outlet. Do not defeat the safety  
purpose of the polarized plug.  
Route power cord to prevent it from being  
pinched, or walked on, or melted by a hot stove  
or radiator.  
To clean cabinet, unplug AC power cord, then use  
a soft cloth dampened only with water.  
Do not place lighted candles, cigarettes, cigars,  
etc. on the product.  
Unplug AC power cord from outlet during a  
lightning storm or when product is left unused  
for a long period of time to prevent damage due  
to lightning or power line surges.
