Power and Ground
Connection Cautions
Ensure that the plug connection is free of dust. In a damp environment, a contaminated connector can draw a significant amount of current that can generate heat and eventually cause fire over an extended period of time.
Always use the power cord provided with your machine.
If you use a cord with an unspecified current rating, the machine or plug may emit smoke or become hot to the touch externally.
Do not attempt to repair, pull, bend, chafe or otherwise damage the power cord. Do not place a heavy object on the cord. A damaged cord can cause fire or electric shocks.
Never touch a power cord with wet hands. Danger of electric shock exists.
When disconnecting the machine, grasp the plug instead of the cord. Pulling on a cord forcibly can damage it and cause fire or electric shock.
If the power cord is broken or insulated wires are exposed, contact your authorized Panasonic dealer for a replacement. Using a damaged cord can cause fire or electric shocks.
Stop operation immediately if your machine produces smoke, excessive heat, unusual noise, or smell, or if water is spilt onto the machine. These conditions can cause fire. Immediately unplug the machine, and contact your authorized Panasonic dealer.
Do not disconnect or reconnect the power cord from the machine while it is on. Disconnecting a live connector can deform the plug and cause fire.
