spilled on it, smoke comes out or the product makes a strange smell), immediately stop using the 
product, switch MAIN POWER to OFF and be sure to contact the store from which you purchased your 
product or a nearby Panasonic Servicenter.
  Continuing to use the product in that condition could cause accidents, fi re or electrical shock. 
≥ If there are any problems in the wiring connections or installation, do not attempt to do the repair 
work or check the wiring yourself. Instead, be absolutely sure to consult with your dealer or your
