may result in fire or accident.
●Dust accumulating on the power cord plug may result in fire. Inspect the plug regularly and remove any
dust.
●Fully insert the power cord plug into the outlet. Poor contact may generate heat and result in fire or
burns.
●Damage to the power cord may result in fire, electric shock or electrical leakage. Be sure to observe the
following.
• Keep the power cord away from heaters.
• Do not twist the power cord.
• Do not forcibly bend the power cord.
