1. Make sure all switches are in the “OFF” position prior to use. Attach power cord into the Power Cord Port (12) in the
ash unit and plug other end of the cord into a grounded AC120V/60Hz wall outlet.
NOTE: NEVER tamper with grounding pin or attempt to use the power cord if it has been altered.
2. Turn the Main Power Switch (8) to the “ON” position. The green Power Indicator Light (9) will go on and the unit is now charging.
3. When the Recycle Indicator Light (3) turns on, you will hear a beep. This indicates that the ash has charged to 70%.
The ash will be fully charged after hearing a second beep.
4. For continuous lighting that synchronizes with the ash power, adjust the Modeling Lamp Dial (2) to the desired power.
Turning the Modeling Continuous Lighting Switch upward in the ( - ) position gives continuous lighting that will change with
the ash power simultaneously. For constant light, turn the Modeling Lamp Continuous Lighting Switch downward in the ( = )
position. This will maintain continuous light at full strength and will not change with the ash power. To turn the Modeling
Lamp OFF, move the switch to the ( O ) position.
5. Use the built-in Photocell (7), Test Button (1) or Sync Port (11) to re the ash. Get output from 1/8 to full power using
the Fully Variable Power Dial (10).
6. To replace 5A fuse: MAKE SURE UNIT IS UNPLUGGED BEFORE OPENING SOCKET COVER. Push on the Fuse Cover (13)
to expose the fuse. Use tweezers to pull out the old fuse and insert new. Close cover when complete.
