ered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of
other controls may result in damage and will often require ex-
tensive work by a qualified technician to restore the appliance
to its normal operation,
E. If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in performance
- this indicates a need for service.
