uneven floor surface can cause the product to fall from the
cart.
10. Ventilation - The vents and other openings in the cabinet are
designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents and
openings since insufficient ventilation can cause overheating
and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not place the product
on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can
block ventilation openings. This product is not designed for
built-in installation; do not place the product in an enclosed
place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is
provided or the manufacturer’s instructions are followed.
11. Power source - This product must operate on a power source
specified on the specification label. If you are not sure of the

local power company.
12. Power cord protection - The power cords must be routed
properly to prevent people from stepping on them or objects
from resting on them. Check the cords at the plugs and product.
