Location · Do not place the machine close to flammable solvents such as alcohol or thinners. Power supply · Never attempt to plug or unplug the machine from the power supply when your hands are wet. · Always push the plug all the way into the power outlet. · Never damage, modify, stretch or excessively bend or twist the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on the power cord. · Never plug the machine into a power socket that is shared with other equipment (extension lead/cord, 2- or 3-way adapter, etc.). · Never use the machine if the power cord is bundled or knotted. · If you detect smoke, unusual smells or strange noises around the machine, immediately unplug the machine at the power supply and contact the Canon Customer Care Center at 800-828-4040. Using the machine in such conditions may result in fire or electrical shock. · Periodically, unplug the machine and use a dry cloth to wipe off any dust or dirt collected on the plug and the power outlet. If the machine is placed at a location exposed to a lot of dust, smoke, or high humidity, the dust collected on the plug absorbs moisture and may cause insulation failure and fire. Maintenance · Use a damp cloth to clean the machine. Never use flammable solvents such as alcohol, benzene or thinners. If flammable solvents come in contact with electrical components inside the machine, it could cause a fire or electrical shock. · Always turn OFF the power and unplug the machine from the power outlet before cleaning the machine. If you accidentally switch the machine ON while cleaning it, it may result in injury or damage the machine. 7 Handling · Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the machine. There are no user serviceable parts inside the machine. The machine contains high-voltage components. Never attempt any maintenance procedure not described in this guide. Incorrect maintenance procedures may damage the machine, or cause a fire or electrical shock. · Do not use flammable sprays near the machine. This could cause a fire or electrical shock if the spray comes into contact with electrical components inside the machine. Others · This product emits low level magnetic flux. If you use a cardiac pacemaker and feel abnormalities, please move away from this product and consult your doctor. · When setting the machine near electric products with fluorescent lighting, separate the machine at least 5 7/8 inches (150 mm) from electric products equipped with fluorescent lighting.
