alcohol or ammonia to clean the inside or outside of the machine. Refer to Basic User’s Guide.
Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots, since they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts resulting in the risk of fire or electric shock. If metal
objects, water or other liquids get inside the machine, immediately unplug the machine from the
electrical socket. Call your Brother dealer or Brother Customer Service.
Never touch telephone wires or terminals that are not insulated unless the telephone line has
been unplugged at the wall socket. Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm. Never

that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective
grounding of the power, consult a qualified electrician.
