6. Racks and Stands The appliance should be used only
with a rack or stand that is recommended for use with audio
equipment.
If the equipment is on a portable rack it should be moved
with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause the combination to overturn.
7. Ventilation The appliance should be situated so that its
location or position does not interfere with its proper
ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated
on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface that may block the
ventilation openings or placed in a built-in installation, such as a
bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through
the ventilation openings.
8. Heat The appliance should be situated away from heat
sources such as radiators, stoves or other appliances (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Power Sources The appliance should be connected to a
power supply only of the type described in this handbook or as
marked on the appliance.
10. Grounding Precautions should be taken so that the
grounding means of the appliance is not defeated.
II. 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 and plugs, and the point where they exit
from the appliance.
12. Cleaning Unplug the unit from the mains supply before
cleaning. The appliance should normally only require a wipe
over with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. If it is heavily soiled then a
cloth slightly dampened with a water/washing up liquid solution
may be used. Dry the unit afterwards with a dry cloth.
We do not advise the use of furniture type cleaning sprays/
polishes as this can cause white marks, which are very difficult
to remove, if the unit is then wiped over with water

located away from power lines.
