or cold. (Be sure to use the unit that
conforms fully to the specifications of
this unit.)

Do not stack units or place the unit
on other objects that generate heat
When one unit is stacked on top of another
unit, the heat generated by both units can
get extremely hot. Do not stack units on top
of each other or place the unit on other
objects that may generate heat.
Do not block the ventilation
openings
• The ventilation openings on the sides of
the unit serve to prevent internal heat
buildup. Always leave a clearance on
both sides as well as behind and above
the unit.
• Do not use the unit in a closed box or
other enclosure.
Use the unit in a horizontal
position
• The unit is designed to be operated in a
horizontal position.
• Do not install the unit on a slanted
surface, and protect the unit from shocks.

subject to strong shocks, it can be
seriously damaged.
Maintenance
• Before cleaning the unit or performing
any other kind of maintenance, be sure to
disconnect the power cord from the AC
outlet.
• For cleaning, lightly wipe the cabinet and
panels with a dry cloth. To remove
stubborn stains, lightly moisten the cloth
with a mild, neutral detergent and wipe
with a dry cloth afterwards.
• Do not use cleaning alcohol, solvents,
benzine, insecticide, or any other volatile
substances, because these may damage
the finish and lead to discoloration.
