Placement
Avoid placing the unit in areas of:
- direct sunlight
- high temperature
- high humidity

- uneven surfaces (Place the unit on a flat level surface.)
Such conditions might damage the cabinet and/or other component parts and thereby shorten the unit's
service life.
Stacking
Never place heavy items on top of the unit or the AC power cord.
Voltage
- It is very dangerous to use a "high voltage" AC power source such as for an air conditioner. A fire might
be caused by such a connection.
- A DC power source can not be used. Be sure to check the power source carefully.
Power cord protection
- Avoid using AC power cords with cuts, scratches, or poor connectors, as this may result in fire or electric
shock. Excessive bending, pulling or slicing of the cord should also be avoided.
- Do not pull on the cord when you are disconnecting the power, as this could cause an electric shock.
Grasp the plug firmly when you disconnect the power supply.
- Never touch the plug with wet hands or a serious electric shock could result.
Foreign Materials
- Ensure that no foreign objects (e.g. - needles, coins, screwdrivers), accidentally fall into the unit. Other-
wise, a serious electric shock or malfunction could occur.
- Be extremely careful about spilling water or liquid on or into the unit, as a fire or electric shock could
occur (Disconnect the power plug and contact your dealer immediately if this occurs).
- Avoid spraying volatile chemicals (e.g.- insecticides, alcohol, paint thinner) on or into the unit as they
contain flammable gases which can be ignited.
- Insecticides, alcohol, paint thinner and similar chemicals should never be used to clean the unit as they
can cause flaking or cloudiness to the cabinet finish.
