General Safety Instructions
Read this manual thoroughly before first use and keep it in a safe place for future
reference. The safety precautions enclosed herein reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
and injury when correctly adhered to. Follow all instructions and take notice of all
warnings to reduce the risk of fire or electric shock.
Important Warnings and Cautions!
To prevent contact with high voltage components inside, do not attempt to open the

Electrical Safety and Cord Handling
Voltage: Before plugging in the power cord, make sure your outlet voltage and circuit
frequency correspond to the voltage stated on the product rating label and the outlet
socket is properly earthed and readily accessible.
Electrical circuit: Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or power boards as
