Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.

3.

Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid
cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

4.

Do not locate base unit near water, for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl,
kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.

5.

Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand or table. The product
may fall, causing serious damage to the product.

6.

Slots and openings in the cabinet and the bottom or back are provided for
ventilation, to protect it from overheating; these openings must not be
blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the
product in the bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. This product should
never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This product should
not be placed in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided.

7.

This product 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 dealer or local power company.

8.

Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product
where the cord will be abused by persons walking on it.

9.

Do not overload outlets and extension cords as this can result in the risk of
fire or electric shock.

10.

Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as
they may  touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could
result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the
product.

11.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product, but
take it to qualified servicemen when  service or repair work is required.
Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or
other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the appli-
ance is subsequently used.

storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

13.

Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
