Precautions
Warnings
• Do not allow water to enter this unit or allow the
unit to become wet. Fire or electrical shock may
result.
• Connect this unit's power cord only to an AC outlet
of the type stated in this Owner's Manual or as
marked on the unit. Failure to do so is a fire and
electrical shock hazard.
• Do not scratch, bend, twist, pull, or heat the power
cord. A damaged power cord is a fire and electrical
shock hazard.
• Do not place heavy objects, including this unit, on
top of the power cord. A damaged power cord is a
fire and electrical shock hazard. In particular, be
careful not to place heavy objects on a power cord
covered by a carpet.
• If you notice any abnormality, such as smoke, odor,
or noise, or if a foreign object or liquid gets inside
the unit, turn it off immediately. Remove the power
cord from the AC outlet. Consult your dealer for
repair. Using the unit in this condition is a fire and
electrical shock hazard.
• Should this unit be dropped or the cabinet be
damaged, turn the power switch off, remove the
power plug from the AC outlet, and contact your
dealer. If you continue using the unit without
heeding this instruction, fire or electrical shock may
result.
• If the power cord is damaged (i.e., cut or a bare
wire is exposed), ask your dealer for a replacement.
Using the unit with a damaged power cord is a fire
and electrical shock hazard.
• Do not remove the unit's cover. You could receive
an electrical shock. If you think internal inspection,
maintenance, or repair is necessary, contact your
dealer.
• Do not modify the unit. Doing so is a fire and
electrical shock hazard.
Cautions
• When rack-mounting the unit, allow enough free
space around the unit for normal ventilation. This
should be: 10 cm at the sides, 10 cm behind, and
40 cm above.
For normal ventilation during use, remove the rear
of the rack or open a ventilation hole.
If the airflow is not adequate, the unit will heat up
inside and may cause a fire.
• This unit has ventilation holes at the rear to prevent
the internal temperature rising too high. Do not
block this. Blocked ventilation holes are a fire
hazard.
• This unit is heavy. Use two or more people to carry
it.
• Keep this unit away from the following locations:
— Locations exposed to oil splashes or steam, such
as near cooking stoves, humidifiers, etc.
— Unstable surfaces, such as a wobbly table or
slope.
— Locations exposed to excessive heat, such as
inside a car with all the windows closed, or
places that receive direct sunlight.
— Locations subject to excessive humidity or dust
accumulation.
• Hold the power cord plug when disconnecting it
from an AC outlet. Never pull the cord. A damaged
power cord is a potential fire and electrical shock
hazard.
• Do not touch the power plug with wet hands.
Doing so is a potential electrical shock hazard.
