Installation Location • To assure proper operation, and to avoid the potential for safety hazards, place the unit on a firm and level surface. When placing the unit on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and any mounting hardware can support the amplifier. Remember, the Citation 7.1 weighs over 70 pounds. • High powered audio amplifiers such as the Citation 7.1 may develop moderate amounts of heat. Therefore, if the unit is installed in a cabinet it is recommended that the rear of the cabinet be left open to permit air circulation. If that is not possible, ventilation holes should be placed at both the top and bottom of the cabinet or enclosure, or at the sides, bottom and top. A minimum of six (6) inches should be provided between each side of the unit and the cabinet, and at least twelve (12) inches above and two (2) inches below the unit. In some cases a fan may be required to provide for air movement within a cabinet. Please consult your dealer or installer for more information. • Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted surface. • Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations, or in an area that is exposed to direct sunlight or heating equipment. • Avoid moist or humid locations. • Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of the unit, or place objects directly over them. • Speaker wiring, input cables and power cords should be carefully placed so that they do not come in contact with, or intefere with the external heat sinks. Cleaning When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft, dry cloth. If necessary, first wipe the surface with a soft cloth slightly dampened with mild soapy water, then a fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe dry immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use benzene, thinner, alcohol or any other volatile cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish of metal parts. Avoid spraying insecticide near the unit. Moving the Unit Before moving the unit, remove any interconnect cords, and unplug it from the AC outlet. CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, do not remove the grounding plug on the power cord, or use any plug or extension cord that does not have a grounding plug provided. Make certain that the AC outlet is properly grounded. Do not use an adapter plug with this product. A The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. A The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
