they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by things
placed on or against them.

• Do not use the appliance in humid or damp conditions.
Do not allow the appliance to get wet, i.e. dripping or
splashing, as this may be dangerous. Do not place water
filled objects, such as vases and flower top on top of the

• Make sure that no naked flame sources, such as lighted
candles, are placed on top of the appliance.

• Do not place the television near heat sources such as
radiators, ovens, stoves, etc.
