Preparing the Machine For a Long Period of Inactivity

Use this procedure to prepare the machine for a long period of inactivity with its power switch turned off.

Note that not using the following procedure could result in unusual noises when use of this machine is resumed.

Turn off the power switch.
Pull out the plug from the socket.
Pull Front Cover Open Lever, and then open the front cover with both hands carefully.
Lower the blue fusing unit lever.
Using a coin, turn both gray knobs on the fusing unit 90 degrees counterclockwise (until the slots are horizontally aligned with the marking shown in the illustration below).
Close the front cover with both hands carefully.
- This step is not necessary if the machine's power switch is on but the machine has been inactive for a long time.
