The exclamation point in an equilate-
ral triangle warned of the existence
of instructions usage and mainte-
nance in the documentation attached to this
product.

ning. Do not use cleaning solutions in liquid
or aerosol form. Use preferably a damp cloth.

stands - Do not place this unit on an uns-
table stand, such as stands, tripods, tables,
shelves, etc. It could fall and cause serious
injury to a child or adult who is nearby.
Ventilation - The appliance must be po-
sitioned so that it does not interfere with its
own ventilation. For example, it should not
be installed on a bed, sofa, blanket or similar
surfaces that could block its vents. It should
not be embedded in conned spaces such as
narrow shelves or furniture that could limit
the amount of air available to the air intakes.

overload power outlets, exten-
sion cords, or power reminders. This
