•Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

•Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the System or moving the System.

•Do not alter, twist or pull the power cord, or put anything heavy on it, which may cause fire, electric shock, or other accidents.

•If the cord is damaged, consult a dealer and have the power cord replaced with a new one.

Avoid moisture, water, dust, and high temperatures

•Do not place the System in moist or dusty places.

•If water gets inside the System, turn off the power and remove the plug from the wall outlet, then consult your dealer. Using the System in this state may cause a fire or electrical shock.

•Do not expose the System to direct sunlight or place it near a heating device.

Notes on installation

•Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold between 5˚C and 35˚C.

•Do not install the System in a place subject to vibrations.

•Do not put heavy objects on the System.

To prevent malfunction or damage of the System

•Do not insert any metallic objects, such as wires, hairpins, coins, etc. into the System.

•Do not block the vents.

To clean the cabinet

•Use a soft cloth. Follow the relevant instructions on the use of chemically-coated cloths.
