To use the Machine Safely

Please keep these instructions for later reference and read them before attempting any
maintenance. If you do not follow these safety instructions, there is a possibility of a fire,
electrical shock, burn or suffocation.
WARNING
DO NOT expose the machine to direct sunlight, excessive heat, open flames,
corrosive gasses, moisture or dust.
DO NOT place your machine on a carpet or rug, as this will expose it to dust. Doing
so may create a risk of an electrical short or fire. It may also damage the machine
and/or render it inoperable.
DO NOT place the machine near heaters, air conditioners, electric fans, refrigerators,
radiators, or water. Doing so may create the risk of a electrical short or fire should
water come into contact with the machine (including condensation from heating, air
conditioning, and/or ventilation equipment that may be sufficient to create a electrical
shock, short circuit or fire).
DO NOT place the machine near chemicals or in a place where chemicals could be
spilled on it. Should chemicals come into contact with the machine, there may be a
risk of fire or electric shock. In particular, organic solvents or liquids such as benzene,
paint thinner, polish remover, or deodorizer may melt or dissolve the plastic cover
and/or cables, resulting in a risk of fire or electric shock. These or other chemicals
may also cause the machine to malfunction or become discolored.
The product should be placed so as not to come into contact with any wall or other
device. Otherwise, it could create a risk of overheating and/or fire.
Instead:
• Place the machine on a solid surface, never on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar soft
surface.
• Do not place this machine in a "built-in" installation unless adequate ventilation is
provided.
Slots and openings in the casing, back or bottom of the product are provided for
ventilation. To avoid blocking or covering these openings, the product should be
placed where it will not touch any wall or other device. Blocking the unit's ventilation
could create a risk of overheating and/or fire.
IMPORTANT
• Always place the unit on a solid surface, never on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar soft
surfaces.
• DO NOT place the unit in a "built-in" installation.
CAUTION
Avoid placing your machine in a high-traffic area. If you must place it in a high-traffic
area, ensure that the machine is in a safe location where it cannot be accidentally
knocked-over, which could cause injury to you or others and serious damage to the
machine.
