IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS

Read the Operating Instructions carefully and completely before
operating the unit. Be sure to keep the Operating Instructions
for future reference. All warnings and cautions in the Operating
Instructions and on the unit should be strictly followed, as well
as the safety suggestions below.

Warning

To prevent electric shock or injury , these safety instructions should
be followed in the installation, use and servicing the unit.

Installation

Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended by

the unit manufacturer as they may result in the risk of fire, electric
shock or injury to persons.
Water and Moisture - Do not use this unit near water - for
example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub,
in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
Heat - Do not use this unit near sources of heat, including heating
vents, stoves, or other appliances that generate heat. It also
should not be placed in temperatures less than 5˚C (41˚F) or
greater than 35˚C (95˚F ).

Mounting surface - Place the unit on a flat, even surface.
Accessories - Do not place this 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 appliance. Use
only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by
the manufacturer, or sold with the unit. Any mounting of the
appliance should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and
should use a mounting accessory recommended by the
manufacturer.

Portable cart - An appliance and cart combination
should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive
force, and uneven surfaces may cause the
appliance and cart combination to overturn.
Ventilation - The unit should be situated with adequate space
around it so that proper heat ventilation is assured. Allow 10 cm
clearance from the rear and the top of the unit, and 5 cm from
the each side.
Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are
provided for ventilation, and to ensure reliable operation of the
unit and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not
be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked
by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.
This unit should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a
bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.
Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into
this unit through the cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short-circuit parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the unit.

Electric Power

Power Sources - This unit should be operated only from the

type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are
not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your
appliance dealer or local power company. To operate unit on
battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
Grounding or Polarization - This unit is provided with a polarized
alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than
the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully
into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to
fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
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.
Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords,
integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of
fire or electric shock.

Lightning

For added protection for this unit during a lightning storm, or
when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage to the unit
due to lightning and powerline surges.

Maintenance

Cleaning - Unplug this unit from the wall outlet before cleaning.

Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth
for cleaning.
