A Consumer Guide to Product Safety
This unit has been designed and manufactured to assure your personal safety. Improper use can result in potential
electrical shock or fire hazards. Please read all safety and operating instructions carefully before installation and
use. Keep these instructions handy for future reference. Take special note, adhere to all warnings, and always
follow the instruction on the unit and in the instruction and service manuals.
1.
Water and Moisture
- The unit should not be used near water. For example: near a bathtub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement.
2.
Ventilation
- The unit should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper
ventilation. For example, it should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface that may block
ventilation openings. Also, it should not be placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet
that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
3.
Heat
- The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other
appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
4.
Power Sources
- The unit should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating
instructions or as marked on the appliance.
5.
Grounding or Polarization
- This product is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug
having one blade wider than the other). As a safety feature this plug will fit into the power outlet only one
way. If you are unable to fit the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still fails to fit,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of your polarized
plug.
6.
Power-Cord Protection
- Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked
on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. It is always best to have a clear area from where the
cord exits the unit to where it is plugged into an AC outlet.
7.
Cleaning
- The unit should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer.
8.
Non-Use Periods
- The power cord of the unit should be unplugged from the outlet when it is to be left
unused for a long period of time.
9.
Objects and Liquid Entry
- Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled
into the enclosure through openings.
