Safety & Warnings
Never remove the case unless specified in the Instruction Manual. If internal parts are touched accidentally, a serious electric shock might occur. Never touch internal parts. If a metal object, such as a hairpin or a needle, comes into contact with the power socket on the rear panel, a dangerous electric shock may result. For families with children, never permit children to put anything, especially metal, inside the unit. Touching the power plug when your hands are wet may result in a serious electric shock. Never pull, bend, or extend the power cord as this could damage the power cord, resulting in a broken cord or short-circuit. Always grasp the plug. The unit may not function properly if used at extremely low or freezing temperatures. If an abnormal smell or smoke is detected, immediately turn the power OFF and pull out the power cord. Contact your dealer or nearest Service Station. Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, paint thinner, gasoline, benzine, etc., to clean the cabinet. Use a silicone cloth or a clean dry cloth.
