This unit has been designed and manufactured to assure your personal safety. Improper use can result in
potential electrical shock or fire hazards. Please read all safety and operating instructions carefully before
installation and use. Keep these instructions handy for future reference. Take special note, and adhere to all
warnings on the unit and in the instruction and service manual.
1. Water and Moisture – The unit should not be used near water. For example, near a bathtub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.
2. Ventilation – The unit should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper
ventilation. For example, it should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the
ventilation openings; or placed in a built-in installation, such as bookcase or cabinet that may impede the
flow of air through the ventilation openings.

should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose
of the polarized plug.
6. Power Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked
on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the points where they exit from the unit.
