When mounting the unit, use accessories
recommended by the manufacturer.
Portable cart - An appliance and cart combination
should be moved with care. Quick stops , excessiv e
force, and uneven surfaces may cause the
appliance and cart combination to overturn.
PORTABLE CART WARNING
S3126A
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 ne ver be blocked
by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug or other
similar surface. (This unit should never be placed
near or over a radiator or heat register.) This unit
should not be placed in a built-in installation such
as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.
Weight and heavy objects
The unit should be moved with care by tw o or more
people as the weight balance is not even. Do not
place heavy objects on the unit.
Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of
any kind into the unit through the cabinet slots
because they may come into contact with
dangerous voltage points or short-circuit parts and
cause fire or electric shock. Ne ver spill liquid of an y
kind on the unit. Do not put a vase or the like with
water inside on this 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 po wer
supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer
or local power company. To operate this 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.
Overloading - Do not allow anything to rest on the
power cord. Do not overload wall outlets and
extension cords because this can result in fire or
electric shock. Do not place the unit in an area where
people will walk on the cord.
Outdoor Antenna
Power lines - An outside antenna system should
not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines
or other electric light or power circuits, or where it
can fall onto such power lines or circuits. When
installing an outside antenna system, extreme care
should be taken to avoid touching power lines or
circuits because contact with them may be fatal.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside
antenna or cable system is connected to the unit,
be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70,
provides information with regard to proper grounding
of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of
the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size
of grounding conductors, location of antennadischarge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode. See
the figure.
Antenna Grounding According to the National Electrical Cord
ANTENNA LEAD IN WIRE
Lightning
For added protection during a lightning storm, or
when left unattended and unused for long periods
of time, unplug the unit from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will
prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and
powerline surges.
Maintenance
Cleaning - Unplug the unit from the wall outlet
before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or
aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
Damage Requiring Service
Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and refer for
servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
1) When the power cord or plug is damaged or
frayed.
2) If liquid has been spilled into the unit.
3) If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.
4) If the unit does not operate normally when
following the operating instructions. Adjust
only those controls that are covered by the
operating instructions because improper
adjustment of other controls may result in
damage to the unit and will often require
extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the unit to normal operation.
5) If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet
has been damaged.
6) When the unit exhibits a distinct change in
performance - this indicates a need for service.
Do not attempt to service the unit yourself because
opening or removing covers ma y expose you to high
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.
Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are
required, be sure the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer
or having the same characteristics as the original
part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock or other hazards.
Safety Check - After completion of any service or
repairs to the unit, ask the service technician to
perform a safety check to ensure that the unit is in
proper operating condition.
