•Do not push objects in the ventilation slots as they may
touch high voltage components and result in shock and
damage to the components.
•When replacing parts, ensure that you use parts specified
by the manufacturer.
•When service or repairs have been carried out, perform
routine safety checks to verify that the system is operating
correctly.
