Important Safety Information
Always be careful when using your product. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and other
injuries, keep these safety precautions in mind when installing, using, and
maintaining your machine.
• Read all safety and operating instructions before operating your product.
• Keep the safety and operating instructions for future reference.
• Heed all warnings on the product receiver and in the operating instructions.
• Follow all operating and use instructions.
• Unplug the product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth; do not use liquid or
aerosol cleaners.
• Never add any attachments and/or equipment without approval of the manufacturer. Such addi-
tions can increase the risk of fire, electric shock, or other personal injury.
• Do not use the product where contact with or immersion in water is a possibility, such as near
bath tubs, sinks, washing machines, swimming pools, etc.
• Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table where it can fall. A falling product can cause serious injury to
a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with
a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufac-
turer or sold with the product. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions
when mounting the unit, and use a mounting accessory recommended
by the manufacturer. Move the product and cart with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces can make the unit and
cart unsteady and likely to overturn.
• Provide ventilation for the product. The unit is designed with slots in the cabinet for ventilation to
protect it from overheating. Do not block these openings with any object, and do not place the
product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place it near a radiator or heat reg-
ister. If you place the product on a rack or bookcase, ensure that there is adequate ventilation
and that you’ve followed the manufacturer’s instructions for mounting.
• Operate your product only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you
are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local
power company.
• Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this product is equipped with a polar-
ized alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into the
power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet.
