CAUTION
1. When leaving the machine unattended, the main switch of
the machine should be switched off or the plug must be
removed from the socket-outlet.
2. When servicing the machine, or when removing covers or
changing bulbs, the machine or the electrical set must be

3. For U.S.A. only
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than
the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is
intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install
the proper outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way.

Use only regular household electricity for the power
source. Using other power sources may result in fire,
electric shock, or damage to the machine.

CAUTION
•
Do not use extension cords or multi-plug adapters with
many other appliances plugged in to them. Fire or
electric shock may result.
•
Do not touch the plug with wet hands. Electric shock

When unplugging the machine, always turn off the main
power first. Always grasp the plug to remove it from the
outlet. Pulling on the cord may damage the cord, or lead

Do not allow the power cord to be cut, damaged, modi-
fied, forcefully bent, pulled, twisted, or bundled. Do not

the machine to your authorized dealer for repairs before
continuing use.

Unplug the power cord if the machine is not to be used
for a long period of time. Otherwise a fire may result.
