WARNING
●Use only regular household electricity for the power source. Using other power sources may result in fire, electric shock, or damage to the machine.
●Turn off the main power and remove the plug in the following circumstances:
•When you are away from the machine
•After using the machine
•When the power fails during use
•When the machine does not operate correctly due to a bad connection or a disconnection
•During electrical storms

CAUTION
●Do not use extension cords or multi-plug adapters with many other appliances plugged in to them. Fire or electric shock may result.
●Do not touch the plug with wet hands. Electric shock may result.
●When unplugging the machine, always turn off the main power first. Always grasp the plug to remove it from the outlet. Pulling on the cord may damage the cord, or lead to fire or electric shock.
●Do not allow the power cord to be cut, damaged, modified, forcefully bent, pulled, twisted, or bundled. Do not place heavy objects on the cord. Do not subject the cord to heat. These things may damage the cord and cause fire or electric shock. If the cord or plug is damaged, take the machine to your authorized dealer for repairs before continuing use.
●Unplug the power cord if the machine is not to be used for a long period of time. Otherwise a fire may result.
