Any mounting of the appliance should follow the manufacturers instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufac- turer. 9. An appliance and cart combina- tion should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn. 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 overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. The appliance should not be placed in a built-in instal- lation 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 fail 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, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where 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 in- formation with regard to proper grounding of the mast and sup- porting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna- discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of an- tenna-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 discon- nect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the appliance due to lightning and power-line surges. 16.Power Lines -“ An outside antenna system should not be lo- cated in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric 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 keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might 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 danger- ous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the appliance. 19.Servicing -“ Do not attempt to service the appliance yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous volt- age or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. 20.Damage Requiring Service -“ Unplug the appliance form the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: A. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the appliance, C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water, D. If the appliance does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper ad- justment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the appliance to its normal operation, E. If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any way, and F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in perfor- mance -“ this indicates a need for service.
