Precautions
Before using this unit please read these operating instructions care¬
fully. Take special care to follow the warnings indicated on the unit
itself as welt as the safety suggestions listed below.
Afterwards keep them handy for future reference.
Safety
1. Power Source - The unit should be connected to power supply
only of the type described in the operating instructions or as
marked on the unit.
2. Polarization - If the unit is equipped with a polarized AC power
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), that plug will fit
into the AC 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.
3. Power Cord Protection - AC 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. Never take hold of the plug or
cord if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug body when
connecting or disconnecting it.
4. Nonuse Periods - When the unit is not used, turn the power off.
When left unused for a long period of time, the unit should be
unplugged from the household AC outlet.
6. Carts and Stands - The unit should be used only with a cart or
stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.
The unit and cart combination should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven sur¬
faces may cause the unit and cart combination to
overturn.
7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The unit should not be mounted to a
wall or ceiling, unless specified in this operating instructions.
Maintenance
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth lightly moist¬
ened with mild detergent solution.
