Important: Do not expose this product to rain or moisture to preserve the life of your product.
Caution: Do not disassemble this unit. To prevent the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover.

its proper ventilation. For example, the unit should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug or similar
surface that may block the ventilation openings.
