CAUTION PROHIBITED
Disassembly prohibited.
• Do not disassemble, repair, or modify. Doing so can cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
• Repair by persons other than trained repair technicians can be dangerous.
Product use.
• Use on a level, stable surface. Placing product on uneven and unstable surfaces can cause the product to
fall over, leading to injury or damage to property in the vicinity of the product.
• Always grasp the power plug to unplug it, do not unplug it by pulling on the power cord. Pulling on the power
cord can damage it, which can cause fire or electric shock.
• Always unplug the power plug from the electric socket when the product will be unused for extended periods
of time. Failing to do so can lead to fire or electric shock caused by short-circuits due to reduced insulation.
• Do not move the machine while in use. Doing so may cause burns.
• Please perform cleaning and maintenance after the product has cooled down. Not doing so may cause
burns.
Unplug.
• Unplug the power plug from the electric socket when performing maintenance, inspecting, or moving the
product. Do not modify the plug in any way.
• Grasp the plug and remove from the receptacle or other outlet device. Do not unplug by pulling on the cord.
• When removing the power plug from the socket, please ensure that the machine has stopped running. Not
doing so may cause damage to the plug blades or socket, or may cause a fire.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
Use power plugs and power cords correctly.
• Failing to do so can cause fire or electric shock due to short-circuits.
• Insert the power plug securely all the way into the electric socket.
• Regularly remove dust from the power plug.
• When dust is allowed to build up, insulation is hampered due to moisture, which can cause fire or electric
shock.
• Use only 120V AC. Other current/voltage can cause fires.
• Do not use if the power cord or the power plug is damaged, or if the power plug is loose when plugged into
the electric socket. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock due to short-circuit.
• Do not wind the cord around the product when not in use as this may cause product failure.
Do not damage the power cord.
• Damaging, modifying, forcefully bending, pulling, twisting, putting heavy objects, or pinching can damage
the power cord, which can cause fire or electric shock.
• Do not use if the power cord is bundled up. Doing so can cause fires. Always extend the cord out before
using.
• Do not pull on the power cord when carrying or storing the product. Pulling on the power cord can cause fire
or electric shock.
• Do not pull or lift the product by holding the cord. This may cause damage to the cord or fire.
