IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Read all instructions before using this appliance. Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this instruction manual. Always exercise basic safety precautions, as
described below. After reading the instruction manual, store it in an accessible place where
the user(s) of this product can easily find it.
The purpose of these safety precautions is to ensure safe and correct use of the product to
minimize risks that could cause serious damage and injury to you or others. The safety
precautions are divided into WARNINGS and CAUTIONS. Cases where improper handling
of the unit could lead to death or serious injury are listed under the WARNING heading.
However, the cases listed under CAUTION could also lead to serious results. To ensure
safety, adhere strictly to both types of safety precautions.
1. All repairs, disassembly and modifications should be performed only by qualified
technicians. Attempting to perform these yourself could result in fire, malfunction and
injury.
2. Never splash water directly onto the product or wash with water without unplugging as a
short circuit could result. In a rainy environment, a water-proof covering is recommended.
3. Never put flammable or volatile substances into unit as explosion and fire could result.
4. Do not damage, modify, excessively bend, strain, twist or bundle the power cord. Also,
placing heavy objects on the power cord or binding could damage the cord, possibly
resulting in electrical shock or fire.
5. Use a dedicated wall outlet. Do not use an extension cord or multiple-outlet adaptor as
this could result in electrical shock, overheating and fire.
6. Never use flammable spray cans or leave flammable substances near the unit. Sparks
from electrical switches could result in explosion or fire. If a combustible gas is present
near the appliance, turn off the source of the gas, then open the windows and doors to
allow the gas to dissipate. To avoid an explosion, do not pull the plug or switch off the unit.
7. The electrical socket must have good grounding. The ground wire cannot be connected
with a gas pipe, heating pipe, water pipe, telephone line or lightning rod. It cannot be
replaced with the neutral wire of single-phase power. In addition to the ground wire, an
electrical leakage circuit breaker is also required.
8. If installation in a damp location is unavoidable, have an electrician install a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) electrical outlet. If no GFCI is installed, electrical shock could
result.
9. Never climb onto the unit. The unit could tip over or fall and cause material damage or
