the appliance, and keep this manual for 
future reference.
Carefully observe all warnings, precautions 
and instructions on the appliance, or the one 
described in the operating instructions and 
adhere to them.

This set should be operated only from the type of 
power source indicated on the marking label. If 
you are not sure of the type of electrical power 
supplied to your home, consult your dealer or 
local power company. For those sets designed to 
operate from battery power, or other sources, refer 
to the operating instructions.

This set may be equipped with a polarized ac 
power cord (mains lead) 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 have a suitable outlet installed. 
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized 
plug by forcing it in.

Do not overload wall outlets (wall sockets), 
extension cords or convenience receptacles 
beyond their capacity, since this can result in fire 
or electric shock.

Never push objects of any kind into the set 
through openings as they may touch dangerous 
voltage points or short out parts that could result 
in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any 
kind on the set.

Do not use attachments not recommended by the 
manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.

Unplug the set from the wall outlet (wall socket)

Do not use power-line operated sets near water – 
for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen 
sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a 
swimming pool, etc.

Route the power cord (mains lead) so that it is not 
likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed 
upon or against them, paying particular attention 
to the plugs, receptacles, and the point where the 
cord exits from the appliance.

Do not place the set on an unstable cart, stand, 
tripod, bracket, or table. The set may fall, causing 
serious injury to a child or an adult, and serious 
damage to the set. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, 
bracket, or table recommended by the 
manufacturer.

The slots and openings in the cabinet are provided 
for necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable 
operation of the set, and to protect it from 
overheating, these slots and openings must never 
be blocked or covered.
– Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth 

or other materials.

– Never block the slots and openings by placing 

the set on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar 
surface.
