Electrical safety and cord handling
• To prevent contact with high voltage
components inside, do not attempt to open
the equipment.
• Before installing this equipment, make sure
your outlet voltage corresponds to the voltage
stated on the appliance rating label.

• Unplug the unit from the power outlet after use to avoid possible
damage during electrical storms, or when the equipment will be
unattended or unused for a long period of time.
• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter, or touch
any hot surface. Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the
power cord, and run any cords so that no one steps on or trips over
them.
• Do not run the cord near heat-producing appliances such as
radiators, stoves or irons. Excessive heat could melt insulation and
expose live wires.
• Always grasp the plug, not the cord, when disconnecting the unit.
Pulling the cord can damage the internal wires and may cause a fire.
• Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It is designed to be
operated in a horizontal position only.
Installation
• When installing the unit, make sure to place it:
• Away from heat sources, radiators or other products that produce
heat.
• Away from areas with high temperatures, high humidity or direct
sunlight.
• Away from excess dirt and dust.
• Away from open windows and any place where water may get into
the unit and damage it.
• Make sure there is free circulation of air around the unit. Do not place
it on a thick carpet, bed or any place where ventilation holes are
obstructed. Leave at least 10cm clearance around the unit.
• Make sure the mains socket is readily accessible at all times.
Usage conditions and restrictions

flame sources (such as lit candles, incense sticks or cigarettes) on
top of the unit.
• The equipment is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the equipment by a
person responsible for their safety.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play
with the equipment. Close supervision is always necessary when an
appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug the unit from the power outlet before cleaning. Clean the unit
only with a dry, clean cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• We assume no liability for any damage caused by noncompliance with
these instructions or any other improper use or mishandling of the
equipment.
Condensation
The unit may suffer from condensation in the following situations:
• When you take the unit directly from a cold to a warm place, and vice
versa.
• When you use the unit in a room where you just turned on a heater, or
where cold air from an air conditioner is directed on to the unit.
• When you use the unit in hot and humid surrounds just after having
moved it from an air conditioned room.
• When the room is steamy or damp.
• If condensation exists, the unit will not operate properly. Remove
the disc, plug the power cord into the wall socket, turn on the unit
and leave it for two to three hours. After that time, the unit will have
warmed up and any moisture will have evaporated. Keeping the
unit connected to the wall socket will keep moisture condensation
problems to a minimum.
