    WARNING

    Never place discharged fluid or ink near an open flame.

    CAUTION:

    To store discharged fluid temporarily, place it in the included drain bottle or in a durable sealed container such as a metal can or polyethylene tank, and cap tightly.

    Any spillage or vapor leakage may cause fire, odor, or physical distress.

    IMPORTANT:

    Do not store discharged fluid in a location where it is exposed to direct sunlight.

    When temporarily storing discharged fluid in the included drain bottle, do not store it in a location that is exposed to direct sunlight. The discharged fluid may harden, making the drain bottle unusable. The drain bottle may also deteriorate, leading to discharged fluid leaks.

    IMPORTANT:

    Dispose of discharged fluid properly, in accordance with the laws in effect in your locale.

    Discharged fluid is flammable and contains toxic ingredients. Never attempt to incinerate discharged fluid or discard it with ordinary trash. Also, do not dispose of it in sewer systems, rivers, or streams. Doing so may have an adverse impact on the environment.
