1. Safety Instruction
You have to read the instruction carefully, which includes
important information about the installation, operation and

thus giving them the necessary information about the use and general
warnings regarding the unit.
• Unpack and check carefully there is no transportation damage before
using the unit.
• Before operating, ensure that the voltage and frequency of power supply
match the power requirements of the unit as stated in this manual.
• It’s important to ground the yellow/green conductor to earth in order to
avoid electric shock.
• The unit is for indoor use only. Use it only in a dry location. Exposing
the device to rain or moisture would cause the risk of electrical shock
or re. Maximum ambient temperature is 40°C. Don’t operate it in
locations where the temperature is higher than this.
• The unit must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation, at
least 50 cm from adjacent surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots are

housing bare-hand during its operation or shortly after. Turn off the
power and allow about 15 minutes for the unit to cool down before
replacing the bulb or serving.
• Disconnect the device from the mains power before any servicing or
maintenance.
• In the event of serious operating problem, stop using the unit
immediately. Never try to repair the unit by yourself. Repairs carried out
by unskilled people can lead to damage or malfunction. Please contact
