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 5.1 weighs over 60 pounds.
•High powered audio amplifiers such as the Citation 5.1 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.
