the area around the base of the power plug's metal pins and the
power outlet with a dry cloth to remove dust and grime. When damp,
accumulated dust may cause short circuiting or fires.
• Use a damp, well wrung-out cloth to clean the machine. Dampen
cleaning cloths with water only. Do not use alcohol, benzenes, paint
thinners, or other flammable substances. If these substances come
into contact with electrical parts inside the machine, this may result
in a fire or electric shock.
• Check the power cord and plug regularly for damage. Check
the machine for rust, dents, scratches, cracks, or excessive heat
generation. Use of poorly-maintained equipment may result in a fire
or electric shock.
Consumables
