Connecting the Power Cord
CAUTIONFollow these guidelines when connecting your machine to a power source:
- The machine is intended for domestic use only and requires 200-240 V AC. Do not use it outside the 
country where it was purchased.
- Use only the power cord that came with the machine. Using a longer cord or extension cord can 
cause the machine to malfunction.
- Unplug the machine only by pulling on the plug itself. Never pull on the cord.
- Do not plug the machine into an outlet shared with an appliance such as an air conditioner, 
computer, electric typewriter, or copier. These devices generate electrical noise, which can interfere 
with the operation of the machine.
- Make sure nothing is laying on the power cord, and that the cord cannot be walked on or tripped 
over.
- Do not overload the electrical outlet. Make sure the total amperage used by all the machines plugged 
into the outlet does not exceed the ampere rating of the outlet’s circuit breaker.
- Do not plug the machine into an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
