before installation and use, and keep these instructions handy for future reference. Take special note of all warnings listed in

these instructions and on the unit.

1. Water and Moisture – The unit should not be used near water. For example: near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink,

laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement.

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 ventilation openings. Also, it

system during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage

to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
