CAUTION Installation and Relocation Cautions Do not place the machine near heaters or volatile, flammable, or combustible materials such as curtains that may catch fire. Do not place the machine in a hot, humid, dusty or poorly ventilated environment. Prolonged exposure to these adverse conditions can cause fire or electric shocks. Place the machine on a level and sturdy surface that can withstand a weight of the machine. If tilted, the machine may tip-over and cause injuries. When relocating the machine, contact the authorized Panasonic dealer. When moving the machine, be sure to unplug the power cord from the outlet. If the machine is moved with the power cord attached, it can cause damage to the cord which could result in fire or electric shock.

If a sheet of paper is wrapped around the heat roller, do not try to remove it yourself to avoid injuries or burns. Unplug the machine immediately and contact an authorized Panasonic dealer. Do not use conductive paper. Ex: carbon paper, and coated paper. When paper misfeed occurs, it can cause a short-circuit and fire. Do not place any heavy objects on the machine. An off-balanced machine can tip-over or the heavy object can fall, causing damage and/or injuries. Keep the room ventilated when using the machine for an extended period of time to minimize the ozone density in the air. When removing misfed paper, make sure that no pieces of torn paper are left in the machine. A piece of paper remaining in the machine can cause fire.
