fined space such as a book case or similar unit.

To ensure proper use of this product, please read
this owner’s manual carefully and retain it for future
reference. Shall the unit require maintenance, con-
tact an authorized service center.

CAUTION concerning the Power Cord
Most appliances recommend they be placed
upon a dedicated circuit;
That is, a single outlet circuit which powers only that
appliance and has no additional outlets or branch
circuits. Check the specification page of this
owner's manual to be certain. Do not overload wall
outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged
wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or
damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous.
Any of these conditions could result in electric
shock or fire. Periodically examine the cord of your
appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage
or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the
appliance, and have the cord replaced with an
exact replacement part by an authorized service
center. Protect the power cord from physical or
mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked,
pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay par-
ticular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point
where the cord exits the appliance. To disconnect
power from the mains, pull out the mains cord plug.
When installing the product, ensure that the plug is
easily accessible.
