INSTALLATION
Water and Moisture – Do not use power-line
operated units near water - for example, near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a
wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.
Power-Cord Protection – Route the power cord so
that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them, paying particular
attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point
where the cord exits from the appliance.
Accessories – Do not place the unit on an unstable
cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The unit may
fall, causing serious injury to a child or an adult, and
serious damage to the unit. Use only a cart stand
tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer.
Ventilation – The slots and openings in the cabinet
are provided for necessary ventilation. To ensure
reliable operation of the unit, and to protect it from
overheating, these slots and openings must never be
blocked or covered.
• Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth or
other materials.
• Never block the slots and openings by placing the
unit on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.
• Never place the unit in a confined space, such as a
bookcase, or built-in cabinet, unless proper
