safe and reliable operation of this unit, and to protect it from overheating, do not block or cover 

these openings. Do not place this unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface, as the ventilation 

openings on the bottom of the cabinet will be blocked. This unit should never be placed near or 

over a heat register or radiator. This unit should not be placed in a built-in installation unless 

proper ventilation is provided. 

7.  This product should only be operated from the type of power source indicated on the marking label

exceed 15 amperes.

Never spill liquid of any kind onto or into this unit. 

12.  Except as specifically explained elsewhere in this manual, do not attempt to service this product
