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. If you hear thunder, disconnect the power supply of the machine and refrain from using it. Leaving the machine plugged in may cause fire, electric shock, or damage to the machine, depending on the thunder storm. Never use a power supply source other than the one rated for the machine in the country of where you purchased the machine.
