if improperly handled. This product has been engineered and manufactured with the highest priority on safety. 
However, improper use can result in electric shock and/or fire. In order to prevent potential danger, please

combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

14)  Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been 

damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects 
have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate 
normally, or has been dropped.

to restore the product to its normal operation,

e)  If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
f)  When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.

replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part.
