• It is dangerous to handle the power cord plug with wet hands. Doing so could result in electric
shock.
• Be sure to locate the machine as close as possible to a wall outlet. This will allow easy disconnection
of the power cord in the event of an emergency.
• Do not use multi-socket adaptors. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not use extension cords. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.
• When you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull the plug (not the cable).
• To disconnect the power cord, pull it out by plug. Do not drag the cord itself. Doing so may result
in damage to the cord, leading to fire or electric shock.
• For safety reason, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet if the machine will not be used for
an extended period of time such as holidays.
• 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.
