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 cabinet are provided for necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the unit, and to protect it from overheating, these slots and openings must never be blocked or covered. • Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth or other materials. • Never block the slots and openings by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. • Never place the unit in a confined space, such as a bookcase, or built-in cabinet, unless proper ventilation is provided. SERVICE Damage Requiring Service - Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: • When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed. • If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the unit. • If the unit has been exposed to rain or water. • If the unit has been subject to excessive shock by being dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged. • If the unit does not operate normally when following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are specified in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will 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.
