overheating and fire.
• Do not insert or remove a power cable plug with wet or perspiring hands as doing so might cause electric shock.
• Firmly insert the power cable plug all the way to the base. A power cable plug that is inserted incompletely might cause
heat generation due to poor contact. Dust accumulation and substances such as water droplets on the cable plug might
cause overheating and fire.
Handling of power cables
Do not use a power cable other than that supplied with the unit.
If an insufficiently rated power cable is used, it might overheat due to excessive current, which might cause fire.
Observe the following to prevent electric shock or fire due to damage to the power cable:
- Do not pull the cable.
- Dot not snag the cable in anything.
- Do not bend the cable.
- Do not expose the cable to chemical substances.
- Do not twist the cable.
