ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be
situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may
block the ventilation openings, or placed in a built-in
installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede
the flow of air through the ventilation openings. Place the
unit in a well-ventilated location, leaving at least 2 inches
(5 cm) of clearance on all sides, top and rear of unit for air
flow. If ventilation is blocked, the unit may overheat and
malfunction.
Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat
8.
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Grounding or Polarization - Precaution should be taken so
9.
that the grounding or polarization means of an appliance is
not defeated.
Power Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be
10.
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched
by items placed upon or against them, paying particular
attention to cords at plugs, receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the appliance.
Power Sources - The appliance should be connected to a
11.
power supply only of the type described in the operating
instructions or as marked on the appliance.
Main Power Disconnect - The power switch is a single-pole
12.
switch. When the switch is in the “Off” position, the appliance
is not completely disconnected from the main power. The
main power plug is used as the disconnect device and shall
remain readily operable. When installing the product, ensure
that the plug is easily accessible.

13.
be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long
period of time.
Attachments - Only use attachments/accessories specified
14.
by the manufacturer.

16.
mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the
manufacturer.
