SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Power Source
The unit should be operated only from a 220-240V~ 50 Hz outlet. Please do not open the cover by yourself.
There is high voltage in the set, which will endanger your life. Please contact local service agent for help
and advice. Repairs to be carried out by a qualified technician only.
•
The apparatus is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the
wall outlet, even if the apparatus itself has been turned off.
•
If you are not going to use the apparatus for a long time, be sure to disconnect the apparatus from the wall
outlet.
Power Cord
Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord (mains lead), or pinch the cord. Handle
the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord
when your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Never make a knot in the cord
or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed in such a way that they are not likely to be
stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause fire or give you an electrical shock. Check the power cord
once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask closest service agent for help. When the AC power cord
needs to be changed, it should be done at a qualified service shop only.

The set should be placed on a solid and safe base. Do not place the apparatus on a soft surface such as
a rug that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.

A location should not be selected such as a room with high humidity, as the condensation, arising in the
kitchen for example, may cause malfunction or damage the set.
•
Heating or other thermal radiation under the set also may cause malfunction or damage the set.
•
The hot air, which arises during the operation, should be ventilated with sufficient air circulation. Please do
not put the set into closed areas and do not cover it.
•
Please avoid the contact of the set with water or humidity. Do not put into operation near bath, swimming
