Be sure to switch Off and unplug the machine
before accessing the interior of the machine for
cleaning, maintenance, or fault clearance.
Access to a live machine's interior can cause
electric shocks.
When the machine is not used over an extended
period of time, switch it Off and unplug it. If an
unused machine is left connected to a power
source for a long period, degraded insulation
can cause electric shocks, current leakages, or
fire.
Once a month, unplug the machine and check
the Power Cord for the following:
The Power Cord is plugged firmly into a
receptacle.
The plug is not excessively heated, rusted, or
bent.
The plug and receptacle are free of dust.
The cord is not cracked or frayed.
If you notice any unusual conditions, contact your
local authorized Panasonic service representative.
This machine has a ground fault interrupter. Once

following:
Gas pipe, which can be ignited and explode
Telephone line ground wire or lightning rod,
which can draw an excessive electric current
if hit by lightning
Water faucet or pipe whose electrical
conductivity is broken by a non-metal part
Do not unplug the machine while it is on.
Unplugging a live connector can deform the plug
and cause a fire.
When unplugging the machine, grasp the plug
