home, consult your dealer or local power company.
8. Do not place objects on the power cord. Install the
unit where no one can step or trip on the cord.
9. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as
this can result in the risk of fire or electric shock.

through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts that could result in
the risk of fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of
any kind on this product.
11. To reduce the risk of electric shock or burns, do not
disassemble this product. Take it to a qualified service
center when service is required. Opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltages, dan
-
gerous electrical current or other risks. Incorrect reas-
sembly can cause electric shock when the appliance
is subsequently used. Disconnect TNV circuit connec-
