Power supply
• Never attempt to plug or unplug the machine from the power supply when your hands
are wet.
• Always push the plug all the way into the power outlet.
• Never damage, modify, stretch or excessively bend or twist the power cord. Do not
place heavy objects on the power cord.
• Never plug the machine into a power socket that is shared with other equipment
(extension lead/cord, 2- or 3-way adapter, etc.).
• Never use the machine if the power cord is bundled or knotted.
• If you detect smoke, unusual smells or strange noises around the machine, immediately
unplug the machine at the power supply and contact your local authorized Canon dealer
or the Canon help line.
Using the machine in such conditions may result in fire or electrical shock.
• Periodically, unplug the machine and use a dry cloth to wipe off any dust or dirt
collected on the plug and the power outlet.
If the machine is placed at a location exposed to a lot of dust, smoke, or high humidity,
the dust collected on the plug absorbs moisture and may cause insulation failure and
fire.
