to function correctly. Disconnect the power
cord immediately, and consult your dealer or
a Sanyo Authorized Service Centre).
Do not open or modify
Do not open the cabinet, as it may be
dangerous and cause damage to the unit. For
internal settings and repairs, consult your
dealer or a Sanyo Authorized Service Centre).

install it where there is greasy smoke or
steam, where the dampness may get too
high, or where there is a lot of dust.
Protect from high temperatures
Do not install close to stoves, or other heat
generating devices, such as spotlights, etc., or
where it could be subject to direct sunlight, as
that could cause deformation, discoloration or
other damages.
Be careful when installing close to the ceiling,
in a kitchen or boiler room, as the
temperature may raise to high levels.
Install where the temperature range will stay
between –10˚C and 50˚C.
