liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

 Attachments Do not use attachments not recommended by the product

manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

 Water and Moisture Do not use this product near water – for example, near a

bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near
a swimming pool, and the like.

 Placement Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod,

bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or
adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the product.
Any mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer's instructions,
and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

 Ventilation Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and

 Power-Cord Protection Power supply cords should be routed so that they are

not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them,
paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and
the point where they exit from the product.
