Any mounting of the appliance should follow the manufacturers instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer. 9. Move appliance and cart combinations with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to over- turn. 10.Ventilation -� Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the appliance and to protect it from overheat- ing. Do not block or cover these openings by placing the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place the appliance in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided. There should be free space of at least 20 cm (8 in.) and an opening behind the appliance. 11.Power Sources -� The appliance should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.12.Grounding or Polarization -� The appliance may be equipped with a polarized alternating 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 fails to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. 13.Power-Cord Protection -� 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. Pay particular atten- tion to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point at which they exit from the appliance. 14.Outdoor Antenna Grounding -� If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the appliance, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure 1. 15.Lightning -� For added protection for the appliance during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and dis- connect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent dam- age to the appliance due to lightning and power-line surges.16.Power Lines -� An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other elec- tric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to avoid touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them can be fatal.17.Overloading -� Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.18.Object and Liquid Entry -� Never push objects of any kind into the appliance through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts, resulting in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the appliance.19.Servicing -� Do not attempt to service the appliance your- self as opening or removing covers may expose you to dan- gerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.WARNINGRISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPENRISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE NE PAS OUVRIRAVISWARNING:TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.CAUTION:TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER- SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the products enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
