• Do not spill food or liquids on your system components, and never operate the product in a wet environment.
If the system gets wet, see the appropriate section in your troubleshooting guide or contact your trained
service provider.
• Do not push any objects into the openings of your system. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting
out interior components.
• Use the product only with approved equipment.
• Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal components.
• Operate the product only from the type of external power source indicated on the electrical ratings label. If you
are not sure of the type of power source required, consult your service provider or local power company.
• Use only approved power cable(s). If you have not been provided with a power cable for your system or for any
AC-powered option intended for your system, purchase a power cable that is approved for use in your country.
The power cable must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current marked on the product's electrical
ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the cable should be greater than the ratings marked on
the product.
• To help prevent electric shock, plug the system power cable into a properly grounded electrical outlet. This cable
is equipped with a three-prong plug to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove
the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an extension cable, use a 3-wire cable with properly
grounded plugs.
• Observe extension cable and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all products plugged
into the extension cable or power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the ampere ratings limit for the extension
cable or power strip.
• To help protect your system from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge
suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
• Position system cables and power cables carefully; route cables so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over.
Be sure that nothing rests on any cables.
• Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company for site modifications.
Always follow your local/national wiring rules.
• Move products with care; ensure that all casters and/or stabilizers are firmly connected to the system. Avoid
sudden stops and uneven surfaces.
