    • Using multi-socket adaptors
    • Using extension cords
    • Touching the prongs of the power cable plug with anything metallic
 
  • Avoid applying the following actions to power cords because doing so can result in fire or electric shock:
    • Damaging them
    • Bundling them
    • Modifying them
    • Putting heavy objects on them
    • Pulling them forcibly
    • Bending them forcibly
 
  • Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands. Doing so can result in electric shock.
 
  • The supplied power cord or cords are for use with this machine only. They cannot be used for appliances other than this machine. Also, do not use power cords other than the power cord or cords supplied with this machine. Doing so can result in fire or electric shock.
 
  • To prevent fire or electric shock, disconnect the plug and the power cord from the wall outlet at least once a year and check them. If any of the following conditions exist, do not use the plug and the power cord continuously, and consult your dealer or service representative.
    • There are burn marks on the plug.
    • The prongs on the plug are deformed.
    • The power cord inner wires are exposed or broken.
    • The power cord coating is cracked, dented, or damaged.
    • When the power cord is bent, the power turns off and on.
    • Part of the power cord becomes hot.
Caution CAUTION
 
  • When disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, make sure to pull the plug, not the cord. Do not pull the power cord forcibly. Doing so can damage the power cord, possibly resulting in fire or electric shock.
 
  • Be sure to push the power cord plug fully into the wall outlet. Also, do not push it into loose and unstable wall outlets likely to cause a contact failure. Doing so can result in heat generation.
 
  • Be sure to disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and clean the prongs and the area around the prongs at least once a year. Allowing dust to build up on the plug constitutes a fire hazard.
 
  • If you do not use the machine for a long period of time such as consecutive holidays, be sure to disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet for reasons of safety.
 
  • When performing maintenance on the machine, disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet for safety.
