RISK OF ELECTRIC

SHOCK DO NOT OPEN

• Explanation of Graphical Symbols

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is
intended to alert you to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within
the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert you to
the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in
the literature accompanying the appliance.

1 Read these instructions.
2 Keep these instructions.

grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the
provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the

■ Notes on remote controls and batteries

• Do not spill water or other liquids on the remote control.

• Do not drop the remote control.

• Do not leave or store the remote control in the following conditions:
– places of high humidity, such as near a bath
– places of high temperatures, such as near a heater or stove
– places of extremely low temperatures
– dusty places

• Insert the battery according to the polarity markings (+ and -).

• If the batteries grow old, the effective operation range of the remote control decreases considerably.
If this happens, replace the batteries with two new ones as soon as possible.

• If the batteries run out, immediately remove them from the remote control to prevent an explosion or
acid leak.

• If you find leaking batteries, discard the batteries immediately, taking care not to touch the leaked material. If the
leaked material comes into contact with your skin or gets into your eyes or mouth, rinse it away immediately and
consult a doctor. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.

• Do not use old batteries together with new ones. This may shorten the life of the new batteries or
cause old batteries to leak.

• Do not use different types of batteries (such as alkaline and manganese batteries) together. Danger of explosion may
happen if batteries are incorrectly replaced. Specification of batteries may be different even though they look the
same.

• Before inserting new batteries, wipe the compartment clean.

• Keep batteries away from children. If a battery is accidentally swallowed, contact your doctor
immediately.

• When not planning to use the remote control for long periods of time, remove the batteries from the
remote control.

• Do not charge or disassemble the supplied batteries.

■ For U.K. customers

If the socket outlets in the home are not suitable for the plug supplied with this appliance, it
should be cut off and an appropriate 3 pin plug fitted. For details, refer to the instructions
described below.

Note

The plug severed from the mains lead must be destroyed, as a plug with bared flexible cord is
hazardous if engaged in a live socket outlet.
