For connecting the power source, see “Basic Connection Example” on page 38(GB).

•Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for several days or more.

•Disconnect the power cord from the wall AC outlet by grasping the plug, not by pulling the cord.

On installation

•Do not place a heavy object on the unit.

5 cm (2 inches) or more away from the walls or ceiling. Do not detach the feet of the unit. The space under the unit is necessary.

Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation slots.
