Safety precautions To use the machine safely Please refer to these instructions for later reference and before attempting any maintenance. WARNING There are high voltage electrodes inside the machine. Before you clean the machine, make sure you have unplugged the telephone line cord first and then the power cord from the AC power outlet. Do not handle the plug with wet hands. Doing this might cause an electrical shock. To prevent injuries, be careful not to touch the area shaded in the illustration. When you move the machine, grasp the side handholds as shown in the illustration. When you move the machine, place a hand at each side of the unit so you are supporting the base when you lift it. (See the illustration on the right.) vii
