position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example,  
the radio should not be used on a bed, sofa, rug or other soft  
surfaces that may block the ventilation openings. It should not be  
placed in a built-in situation like a cabinet that may reduce air flow  
through the ventilation openings.
