IMPORTANT PRODUCT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important safety instructions that must be followed
during the installation and operation of this product. Read all instructions
and safety information contained in this manual before installing or using
this product.
• All electrical work must be performed in accordance with local, state, and
federal electrical codes.
• This product is designed for indoor/compartment installation. It must

the remote.
