cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized service.
Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted,
kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs,
wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appliance.
To disconnect power from the mains, pull out the mains cord plug. When installing
