erating instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions – All operating and use instructions should

be followed.

5. Cleaning – Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet before

cleaning. The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended

by the manufacturer.

6. Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by

the appliance manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7. Water and Moisture – Do not use the appliance near water –for

example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry

tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.

8. Accessories – Do not place the appliance on an unstable cart,

stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The appliance may fall, causing

serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the ap-

pliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table rec-

ommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the appliance. Any

mounting of the appliance

should follow the

manufacturer’s instructions, and

should use a mounting acces-

sory recommended by the

manufacturer.

9. An appliance and cart combina-

tion should be moved with care.

and uneven surfaces may cause

the appliance and cart combina-

tion to overturn.

10. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for

ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the appliance and

to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be

blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by

placing the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar sur-

face. The appliance should not be placed in a built-in installa-

tion such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is pro-

vided. There should be free space of at least 20 cm (8 in.) and an

opening behind the appliance.

11. Power Sources – The appliance 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 appliance dealer or local power company.

12. Grounding or Polarization – The appliance 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 fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the

plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace

your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the

polarized plug.

13. 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 appliance.

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or cable

system is connected to the appliance, be sure the antenna or cable

system is grounded so as to provide some protection against volt-

age surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the Na-

tional Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with

regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,

grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna-discharge unit, size

of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, con-

nection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the ground-

ing electrode. See Figure 1.

15. Lightning – For added protection for the appliance during a light-

ning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long

periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect

the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the

appliance due to lightning and power-line surges.

16. Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be located

in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or

power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or cir-

cuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care

should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or cir-

cuits as contact with them might be fatal.

17. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or

integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of

fire or electric shock.

18. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into

the appliance through openings as they may touch dangerous

voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or

electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the appliance.

19. Servicing – Do not attempt to service the appliance yourself as

opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous volt-

age or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service per-

sonnel.

20. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug the appliance form the

wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel un-

der the following conditions:

A. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,

B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the ap-

pliance,

C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water,

D. If the appliance does not operate normally by following the

operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are

covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjust-

ment of other controls may result in damage and will often

require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore

the appliance to its normal operation,

E. If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any way,

and

F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in performance

– this indicates a need for service.
