please observe the following instructions when installing, operating 

and cleaning the product. To ensure your safety and prolong the 

service life of your product, please read the following precautions 

carefully before using the product.

cleaning the product. To clean the product, use the supplied 

cleaning cloth or other soft clothes (e.g., cotton, flannel). Do 

not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

swimming pool and in a wet basement.

8.

Stand - Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, 

tripod or table. Placing the product on an unstable base can 

cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries 

as well as damage to the product. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, 

bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold 

with the product. When mounting the product on a wall, be 

sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Use only the 

mounting hardware recommended by the manufacturer.

9.

When relocating the product placed on a cart, it must be 

moved with utmost care. Sudden stops, excessive force and 

uneven floor surface can cause the product to fall from the 

cart.

10. Ventilation - The vents and other openings in the cabinet are 

designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents and 

openings since insufficient ventilation can cause overheating 

and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not place the product 

on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can 

block ventilation openings. This product is not designed for 

built-in installation; do not place the product in an enclosed 

place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is 

provided or the manufacturer’s instructions are followed.

11. Power source - This product must operate on a power source 

specified on the specification label. If you are not sure of the 

type of power supply used in your home, consult your dealer or 

local power company.

12. Power cord protection - The power cords must be routed 

properly to prevent people from stepping on them or objects 

from resting on them. Check the cords at the plugs and 

product.

13. Overloading - Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords. 

Overloading can cause fire or electric shock.

14. Entering of objects and liquids - Never insert an object into the 

product through vents or openings. High voltage flows in the 

product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock and/

or short internal parts. For the same reason, do not spill water

characteristics and performance as the original parts. Use of 

unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric shock and/or 

other danger.
