even if the unit itself has been turned off.
¢ Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
¢ Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the
