any kind into the unit through openings as they

may touch dangerous voltage points or short out

parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.

Never spill liquid of any kind on the unit.

Safety Regulations 5

INSTALLATION

Water and Moisture – Do not use power-line

operated units near water - for example, near a

bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in

a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.

Power-Cord Protection – Route the power cord

so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched

by items placed upon or against them, paying

particular attention to the plugs, receptacles, and

the point where the cord exits from the appliance.

Accessories – Do not place the unit on an unstable

cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The unit may

fall, causing serious injury to a child or an adult,

and serious damage to the unit. Use only a cart

stand tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the

manufacturer.

Ventilation – The slots and openings in the

often require extensive work by a qualified

technician to restore the unit to normal

operation.

•When the unit exhibits a distinct change in

performance - this indicates a need for service.

Servicing – Do not attempt to service the unit

yourself as opening or removing covers may

expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
