unit. Generally, using a damp cloth for cleaning is
sufficient. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleaners.

6. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this unit
yourself. Opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.

7. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug the unit from
the main AC power source and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:

• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.

• If liquid has been spilled or an object has fallen

into the unit.

• If the unit has been exposed to water and/or

inclement weather (rain, snow, etc.).

• If the unit does not operate normally, when

following the operating instructions. Adjust only
those controls specified in the operating
instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls
may result in damage, and require extensive work
by a qualified technician to restore the unit to
normal operation.

• If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet

damaged.

• If the unit exhibits a distinct change in

performance, this indicates that service is needed.

8. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are
required, the service technician should use
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or
