WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an
equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user 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 the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in
the literature accompanying the appliance.
15. Damage Requiring Service
Unplug the apparatus from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
A. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the
apparatus,
C. If the apparatus has been exposed to rain or water,
D. If the apparatus does not operate normally by following
the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls
that are covered by the operating instructions as an
improper adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the apparatus to its nor-
mal operation,
E. If the apparatus has been dropped or damaged in any
way, and
F. When the apparatus exhibits a distinct change in perfor-
mance this indicates a need for service.
16. Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into the apparatus through
openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or
short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases shall
be placed on the apparatus.
Don’t put candles or other burning objects on top of this
unit.
17. If you install the apparatus in a built-in installation, such as
a bookcase or rack, ensure that there is adequate ventilation.
Leave 20 cm (8") of free space at the top and sides and 10
cm (4") at the rear. The rear edge of the shelf or board
above the apparatus shall be set 10 cm (4") away from the
rear panel or wall, creating a flue-like gap for warm air to
escape.
