Warning

Serious malfunction

∙Continued use of the unit when smoke or a strange odor is coming from it creates the danger of electrical shock. Immediately turn power off. Request servicing from your original dealer.

Never try to take the unit apart

∙ Never try to take the unit apart or modify it in any way. Doing so creates the danger of electrical shock, burn injury, or other personal injury.

Packaging

∙Keep the plastic bag that the unit comes in out of the reach of small children. Plastic bags create the danger of suffocation for small chil- dren.

Batteries

∙Never charge batteries, try to take batteries apart, or allow batteries

to become shorted. Never expose batteries to direct heat or dispose of them by incineration.

Tape Cutter

∙Never touch the tape cutter while a tape cut operation is being per- formed. Doing so can result in cuts and other personal injury.

Microwave oven containers

∙Never affix labels to containers used for heating food in a microwave oven. The label material contains metal, which creates the risk of sparking and burn injury when heated in a microwave oven. Heating in a microwave oven can also cause deformation of the container to which the label is affixed.

Caution

Avoid unstable areas

∙Never place the unit on a wobbly table or a high shelf. Doing so can cause it to fall, resulting in personal injury.

Water and other foreign matter

∙Never allow coffee, juice, or other drinks, or flower vases to spill on the unit. Liquid spilled on the unit creates the danger of fire and elec- trical shock. Should liquid ever spill onto the unit, immediately turn off power. Request servicing from your original dealer.

∙Never allow metal objects or combustible materials to get into the air vents of the unit. Doing so creates the danger of fire and electrical shock.

Location

∙Avoid leaving the unit in areas subjected to high humidity and large amounts of dust. Such conditions create the danger of fire and elec- trical shock.

∙Avoid leaving the unit on a kitchen table, next to a humidifier, or in any other area where it might come into contact with oil vapors or steam. Such conditions create the danger of fire and electrical shock.

∙Never place heavy objects on the unit. Doing so creates the danger of the unit falling, resulting in personal injury.
