Safety Precautions
WARNING
Power Cord
z
Never do anything that might cause damage to
the cord, power plug or body plug.
Do not damage them, modify them, place hot
objects near to them, bend them, twist them,
stretch them, place heavy objects on them, or
bundle them together. If the unit is used when
damaged, electrical short circuit or fire may cause.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by a special cord available from the
manufacturer or an authorized service center
(as described in the warranty).
Power cord
Power plug
Cord
Body plug
z
Do not connect or disconnect the power plug or the body plug with wet hands.
This may cause electric shock.
z
Do not allow infants access to the body plug.
You must pay special attention to prevent infants from putting the body plug into their mouths.
This may cause electric shock or injury.
z
Do not place small metal parts on the body plug.
This may cause electric shock, electrical short circuit or fire.
z
Make sure the power plug is correctly inserted into the wall outlet.
If the power plug is inserted improperly it may cause electric shock or generate heat
causing fire.
Do not use a damaged power plug or a connection in a loose outlet.
z
Dust off the power plug or the body plug regularly.
A build-up of dust on the plugs will attracts humidity, which could cause cable damage
and the deterioration of insulation causing fire.
Remove the plugs and clean them with a dry cloth.
z
Use a single outlet that matches the power rating of the unit.
Plugging multiple appliances into one outlet may generate heat and cause fire.
During use
z
Do not immerse the unit in water or splash water over it.
y
Do not supply water directly from the tap or place the unit in a sink where the bottom
may get wet.
y
Do not turn the unit upside down when the bottom is wet.
This may cause a short circuit and electric shock due to water enters the electrical parts
in the main unit.
z
Never disassemble, repair or modify the unit.
Any attempt to do so may cause the unit to operate abnormally and may cause fire or injury.
Please contact an authorized service center (as described in the warranty) for a check
or repair.
z
Do not use to store ice.
Condensation will occur, creating a potential source of electric shock and malfunction.
z
Discontinue using the appliance immediately when steam is ejecting over 15 minutes
and it does not switch to keep-warm function.
This may cause burns.
Unplug the appliance immediately and contact an authorized service center (as
described in the warranty) for a check or repair.
z
Use a power outlet which is grounded.
y
The power plug of this appliance is designed for a grounded outlet.
(Use of ungrounded power may cause a malfunction or electric shock due to electrical leakage.)
Please take these precautions strictly
