Cleaning
Clean the AC power plug regularly.
If the plug is covered with dust and it picks up
moisture, its insulation may deteriorate and result in
fire. Unplug the AC power plug and clean it
regularly.
For the unit with a three-wire grounding type AC
plug
This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power
outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician
to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the grounding plug.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or
convenience receptacles beyond their capacity, since
this can result in fire or electric shock.
Always turn the unit off when it is not being used.
When the unit is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet
as a precaution against the possibility of an internal
malfunction that could create a fire hazard.
