needs to be taken in case of water spillage or flooding. Make sure mounting position is solid so

eventually fail. Also sometimes failure happens early due to unforeseen circumstances. To
avoid possible property damage, this product should be regularly examined for leakage and/
or deterioration and replaced when necessary. A drain pan, plumbed to an appropriate drain or
outfitted with a leak detector, should be used in those applications where any leakage could
cause property damage, and/or the water supply should be turned off if no one is present.
