result in fire or electric shock.
Touching the prongs of the power •
cable’s plug with anything metallic
constitutes a fire and electric shock
hazard.
The supplied power cord is for use with •
this machine only. Do not use it with
other appliances. Doing so could result
in fire or electric shock.
It is dangerous to handle the power •
cord plug with wet hands. Doing so
could result in electric shock.
If the power cord is damaged and its •
inner wires are exposed or broken,
contact your service representative for
a replacement. Use of damaged power
cords could result in fire or electric
shock.
Be sure to disconnect the plug from •
the wall outlet at least once a year and
check for the following:
There are burn marks on the plug.•
The prongs on the plug are de-•
formed.
If any of the above conditions exist, •
do not use the plug and consult your
dealer or service representative. Use of
the plug could result in fire or electric
shock.
Be sure to disconnect the power cord •
from the wall outlet at least once a year
and check for the following:
The power cord’s inner wires are •
exposed, broken, etc.
The power cord’s coating has a crack •
or dent.
When bending the power cord, the •

CAUTION:
R
If this machine is not going to be used for •
several days or longer at a time, discon-
nect its power cord from the wall outlet.
When performing maintenance on the ma-•
chine, always disconnect the power cord
from the wall outlet.
When disconnecting the power cord from •
the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not
the cord. Pulling the cord can damage the
power cord. Use of damaged power cords
could result in fire or electric shock.
Be sure to disconnect the plug from the •
wall outlet and clean the prongs and the
area around the prongs at least once a
year. Allowing dust to build up on the plug
constitutes a fire hazard.
Be sure to push the plug of the power cord •
fully into the wall outlet. Partially inserted
plugs create an unstable connection that
can result in unsafe buildup of heat.

If the machine emits smoke or odours, •
or if it behaves unusually, you must
turn off its power immediately. After
turning off the power, be sure to dis-
connect the power cord plug from the
