Choose a safe location for your machine 1
Put your machine on a flat, stable surface that is free of vibration and shocks, such as a desk. Put
the machine near a telephone socket and a standard grounded electrical socket. Choose a dry,
well ventilated location where the temperature remains between 10 C and 35 C.
WARNING
DO NOT expose the machine to direct sunlight, excessive heat, open flames, salty or corrosive
gasses, moisture or dust. DO NOT place your machine on a carpet or rug, as this will expose it
to dust. Doing so may create a risk of an electrical short or fire. It may also damage the machine
and/or render it inoperable.
DO NOT place the machine near heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals or devices that
contain magnets or generate magnetic fields. Doing so may create the risk of a short circuit or
fire should water come into contact with the machine (including condensation caused by
heating/air conditioning/ventilation equipment).
Slots and openings in the casing and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation. To ensure
reliable operation of the machine and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be
blocked or covered.
DO NOT put the machine in a location where any slot or opening in the machine is obstructed
or blocked. These slots and openings are provided for ventilation. Blocking the machine’s
ventilation could create a risk of overheating and/or fire.
IMPORTANT
• Always place the machine on a solid surface, never on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar soft
surface.
• Do not place this machine near or over a radiator or heater.
• Do not place this machine in a “built-in” installation.
