Denotes hazards that could result in minor injury, or damage to the machine.

These symbols are used to alert operators to a specific operating procedure that must not be
performed.

These symbols are used to alert operators to a specific operating procedure that must be
emphasized in order to operate the machine safely.

This symbol is used to alert operators to a heated surface that may cause burns and requires
close attention.

WARNING

Ensure that the plug connection is free of dust.
In a damp environment, a contaminated
connector can draw a significant amount of

current that can generate heat and eventually
cause fire if left unattended over an extended
period of time.

Always use the power cord provided with your
machine.
If you use a cord with an unspecified current

rating, the machine, or plug may emit smoke,
or become hot to the touch.

Do not attempt to repair, pull, bend, chafe, or
otherwise damage the power cord. Do not

place a heavy object on the cord. A damaged
cord can cause fire, or electric shocks.

Never touch a power cord with wet hands.

Danger of electric shock exists.

If the power cord is broken, or insulated wires
are exposed, contact the authorized Panasonic

dealer for a replacement. Using a damaged
cord can cause fire, or electric shocks.

When disconnecting the machine, grasp the

plug instead of the cord. Pulling on a cord
forcibly can damage it and cause fire, or
electric shock.

Stop operation immediately if your machine
emits smoke, excessive heat, unusual noise or
smell, or if water is spilt onto the machine.

These conditions can cause fire. Immediately
switch Off and unplug the machine and contact
the authorized Panasonic dealer.

Do not disconnect, or reconnect the machine
while the power switch is in the On position.
Disconnecting a live connector can cause

arcing, consequently deforming the plug and
cause fire.

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 leakage or fire.

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 shock.

Once a month, unplug the machine and check

the power cord for the following. If you notice
any unusual condition, contact the authorized
Panasonic dealer.
