HK6800 and HK6900 Basics Placement The HK6800 and HK6900 are fully shielded and may be placed on top of or under other stereo components as long as the "feet" provide sufficient clearance for cooling for the component below. Please make sure that the HK6800 or HK6900 receives adequate ventilation. It should always be located away from heat sources such as radiators, fireplaces, stoves, and other appliances that produce heat. Avoid placing the unit in locations that receive prolonged direct sunlight or extremely low temperatures. Power source The HK6800 or HK6900 should be connected only to a 120 volt, 60 cycle power supply. Power cord protection The power cord should be routed in such a way that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items laying on or against it. Any power cord is susceptible to stress at the point where it joins the plug and the point where it exits from the back of the unit, so take care not to fold or bend it excessively at those points. Never pull or stretch the cord. The amplifier's power cord should be unplugged from the outlet when the unit is left unused for a long period of time. Cleaning Use only a clean dry cloth to clean your amplifier. Do not use solvents such as alcohol, benzine, gasoline, etc. Take care that excessive dust does not accumulate on your unit, and that objects are not dropped inside or liquids spilled into the unit. Water and moisture Do not operate this amplifier around water (e.g., near a swimming pool, sink, or in a wet basement). Abnormal smells If you detect an abnormal smell or smoke, immediately turn the amplifier off and unplug the power cord. Contact your dealer or nearest Harman Kardon service center.
