convenience receptacles, and the point where they
exit from the appliance.
7 Ventilation -- Slots and openings in the cabinet are
provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of
the video product and to protect it from overheating.
These openings must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by placing the
video product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. This video product should never be placed
near or over a radiator or heat register. This video
