cart.

■Ventilation—The vents and other openings in the cabinet are

designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents and openings since insufficient ventilation can cause over- heating and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can block ventilation openings. This product is not designed for built-in installation; do not place the product in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instruc- tions are followed.
