Safety Precautions
Ensure that all Cautions and Warnings in the service procedures are followed.
Failure to follow the following instructions could cause an electrical shock or fire hazard.
• Only use the Power Cord supplied with this product.
Do not allow the Power Cord to become twisted, bent, or damaged.
• Do not allow liquids to spill on or into the machine.
• Do not allow paper clips, pins or other objects to fall into the machine.
