conditioners, electric fans, refrigerators, radiators,

and/or cables, resulting in a risk of fire or electric
shock. These or other chemicals may also cause
the unit to malfunction or become discolored.
The product should be placed so as not to come into
contact with any wall or other device. Otherwise, it
could create a risk of overheating and/or fire.
Instead:
• Place the unit on a solid surface, never on a
bed, sofa, rug, or other similar soft surface.
CAUTION
Avoid placing the unit in a high-traffic area. If you
must place it in a high-traffic area, ensure that the

injury to you and serious damage to the unit.
Ensure that cables and cords leading to the unit
are secured so as not to pose a tripping hazard.
DO NOT place the unit on an unstable or tilted
cart, stand, table or on any tilted/slanted surface.
The machine is heavy and may fall, causing injury
to you or others and serious damage to the unit.
Make sure that no part of the unit protrudes from
the desk or stand where the unit is located. Make
sure that the unit is located on a flat, level, and
stable surface free from vibration. Failure to
observe these precautions could cause the unit to
fall, causing injury to you or others and serious
damage to the unit.
