•Avoid using or placing this unit near sources of heat. Do not leave it in an automobile exposed to direct sunlight for a long time with the doors and windows closed as this may deform the cabinet.

•Avoid cuts, scratches, or poor connections in the AC mains lead, as they may result in possible fi re or electric shock hazard. Also, excessive bending, pulling or splicing of the lead should be avoided.

•Do not unplug the AC mains lead by pulling on the lead. To do so may cause premature failure or shock hazard.

•Do not operate this unit in a bathroom, as a potential shock hazard may result.

•When not in use, disconnect the AC mains lead from the household mains socket.
