cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or if it is dropped or
damaged in any manner. The power cord of this appliance
cannot be replaced: if the cord is damaged, the appliance
should be discarded. Never cut the cord.
D. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or electrical
outlet getting wet,
position the appliance
to one side of a wall
mounted outlet to prevent
water from dripping onto
the outlet or plug.
A “drip-loop” should be
arranged. The “drip-loop”
is that part of the cord
below the level of the
unit and the outlet,
or the connector if an
extension cord is used,
to prevent water from
traveling along the cord
and coming in contact
with the outlet or light
unit. If the plug or outlet
does get wet, DON’T
unplug the electrical cord.
Disconnect the fuse or
circuit breaker that
supplies power to the appliance, then unplug and examine for
presence of water in the outlet.
4. To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when
the appliance is used by or near children.
5. To avoid injury, do not contact hot parts.
6. Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use,
before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never
yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to
disconnect.
7. Do not use the appliance for other than intended use. The use
of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance
manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
8. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to
weather or to temperatures below freezing.
9. Do not install the light unit housing near filter outputs or expose
it to water spray or humidity. Do not submerge in water. Ensure
sufficient air space around the heat vents. The safety of this
appliance is guaranteed only provided that the bulbs, adaptors,
and light unit is properly installed.
10. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating
should be used. A cord rated for less amperes or watts than the
appliance rating may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange
the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.
11. WARNING - For North American market only: This appliance has
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety
feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use with an
extension cord unless plug can be fully inserted. Do not attempt
to defeat this safety feature.
