openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could
result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the unit.
Safety Regulations 5
INSTALLATION
Water and Moisture – Do not use power-line operated units near water - for
example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.
Power-Cord Protection – Route the power cord so that it is not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against it, paying particular
attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point where the cord exits from the
appliance.
Accessories – Do not place the unit on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table. The unit may fall, causing serious injury to a child or an adult, and serious
damage to the unit. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended
by the manufacturer.
Ventilation – The slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for necessary

Adjust only those controls that are specified in the operating instructions.
Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to normal
operation.
• When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need
for service.
Servicing – Do not attempt to service the unit yourself as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
