 11.  Overloading — Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords. Overloading can cause fire or electric shock.

 12.   Entering of objects and liquids — Never insert an object into the product through vents or openings. High voltage flows in 

the product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock and/or short internal parts.
