SFP-1 PLACEMENT FOR PROPER VENTILATION
Allow at least 6” (15 cm) of clear space above the SFP-1 chas-
sis for proper ventilation, making sure the air vent slots in the
chassis cover remain unobstructed.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Ventilation - Although your SFP-1 Phono Stage generates only
nominal heat in use, be sure that the ventilation slots in the top
cover have at least 6” of unobstructed air space above them.
2. Water and Moisture - This product should not be used near
water. To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this
product to rain or moisture.
3. Heat - This product should be situated away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appli-
ances which produce heat.
4. Power Sources - This product should be connected to an AC
power source of the proper rated voltage. The original ship-
ping containers will stipulate the AC voltage this unit can oper-
ate with correctly.
5. Cleaning - A regular dusting with a soft, non-abrasive cloth
will generally keep the finish of the faceplate and chassis look-
ing like new. At no time should you allow any liquid to come in
contact with the SFP-1 Phono Stage; it may run into the elec-
tronic circuitry and cause damage which will not be covered
under your warranty.
6. Servicing - Refer servicing to an authorized service technician.
7. Non-Use Periods - The power cord of this product should be
unplugged from the outlet when left unused for an extended
period of time.
8. Do not remove the SFP-1 chassis cover while the unit is
“on”, or connected to an AC power source. Cover screws
could fall through the ventilation slots and cause electrical
damage to the SFP-1.
