surface and do not obstruct any air inlets or outlet grilles. Do not cover
the ventilation grilles with items such as newspapers, tablecloths,
curtains, etc.

This unit must not be used near water or exposed to dripping or
splashing water or other liquids. No objects filled with liquid, such as
vases, shall be placed on the unit.
