All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be adhered to. 

Follow all instructions. 

The appliance should not be used near water or moisture – for example, in a wet basement or near a 
swimming pool, and the like. 

Clean only with dry cloth. 

Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. 

Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including 
amplifiers) that produce heat. 

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding plug. A polarized plug has two blades with 
one wider than the other. A grounding plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or 
the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit your outlet, consult an electrician 
for replacement of the obsolete outlet. 

Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at the plugs, convenience receptacles, 
and at the point where they exit from the apparatus. 

Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. 

Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any 
way such as the power cord or plug is damaged. Other damage may occur if liquid or objects have been 
dropped or spilled into the apparatus. Dropping the apparatus, exposure to rain, and excessive moisture 
may cause additional damage. 

Keep the unit in a well ventilated environment. Ensure at least 4” clearance around top and sides. 

CAUTION: These servicing instructions are for use by qualified service personnel only. To reduce the risk of 
electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the operating instructions unless 
you are qualified to do so. 

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture. The 
apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that objects filled with liquids, such as vases, 
shall not be placed on apparatus.
