fit into your existing AC outlet, do  
not try to defeat this safety feature  
by filing the wide blade to make it fit

2.) Insert the plug into any convenient 120V 60Hz AC outlet.  
PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE  
This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from  
moving when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating  
rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your  
furniture. However certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives,  
or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber 'feet' to soften, and leave marks or a  
rubber residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly  
recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware  
stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the  
bottom of the rubber 'feet' before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
COMPACT DISC CARE  
-
To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the centre of the case and  
lift the disc outs, holding it carefully by the edges.  
-
Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc s recorded surface  
with a soft cloth.Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves to  
collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should  
remove most particles. Wipe in a straight line from the inside to the outside of  
the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely no effect on  
reproduction quality.  
-
-
Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents  
or abrasive cleaners to clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.  
Never write on or affix labels to the surface of compact discs.  
CARE OF THE CABINETS  
-
If the cabinets become dusty wipe them with a soft dry dust cloth. Do not use  
any wax or polish sprays on the cabinets.  
-
If the front panel becomes dirty or smudged with fingerprints it may be cleaned  
with a soft cloth slightly dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Never  
use abrasive cloths or polishes as these will mar the finish of your unit.  
CAUTION  
Never allow any water or other liquids to get inside the unit while cleaning.
