a damp cloth for cleaning.
4. Do not use this product near water (for example, near a bath tub, kitchen sink, or swimming pool).
5. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, causing serious damage
to the product.

should not be placed in a built-in-installation where proper ventilation is not provided.
7. This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are
not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
8. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where the cord will be abused by
persons walking on it.

e) If the product has been dropped and the cabinet has been damaged.
f) If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
13. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk
