0.1  Important Safety Instructions 

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended 

to alert the user to the presence of important operating and 

maintenance (servicing) instructions in this manual. 

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral 
triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of 

uninsulated “dangerous” voltage within the product’s enclosure that may 
be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to humans.

CAUTION:

 TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT 

REMOVE THE COVER. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER 

SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

CAUTION:

 To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose this 

appliance to rain and moisture. The apparatus shall not be 

exposed to dripping or splashing liquids and no object filled with liquids, 
such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus. 

CAUTION:

 These service instructions are for use by qualified 

service personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
