bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or
the manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.

as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products
that produce heat. If placed near an amplifier, check
with manufacturer for applicability.

power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not
sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your
product dealer or local power company.
11. Grounding or polarization.
This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating
current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the
other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug

should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
this polarized plug.
12. Power cord protection.
Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the product.
