WARNING
Do not use the instrument if smoke, atypical noises or odors can
be perceived, or if the instrument becomes unusually hot as this
may result in fire or electric shock.
Stop using the instrument immediately, turn off the power switch,
and unplug the instrument from the power outlet. Contact your
local GE representative to request repair.
WARNING
Do not damage the power supply cord by bending, twisting, heating
or allowing them to become pinned under the equipment. Using
damaged power cords could result in fire or electric shock.
If the power supply cords are damaged, contact your local GE
representative for replacements.
WARNING
Access to power switch and power cord with plug. Do not block
access to the power switch and power cord. The power switch
must always be easy to access. The power cord with plug must
