registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat..
9. Power Sources - The product should be operated only with the type of power supply
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home,
consult your product dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from
battery power, or other sources, refer to the operation instructions.

current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the
power 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.
