unplug the product and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it further.
• Always turn the product off when you do not use it.
Unplug the product from the wall outlet if you are not
going to use it for several days or more. To disconnect the
cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

convenience receptacles beyond their capacity, since this
can result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.
• Do not touch the AC power adapter with wet hands. If
you fail to observe this, it may cause electric shock.
• Do not drop or give a mechanical shock to the product.

humid, dusty, smoky, or steamy. Do not use this product
near or around water. It may cause fire or electric shock.
Especially, do not use the product in the bathroom.

happens, let the moisture evaporate before using the
product.

or shelf. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a
child or an adult, and serious damage to the product.
