A. If the electrical components of the appliance get wet, unplug the
appliance immediately.
B. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not
be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
C. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged electrical cord
or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or if it is dropped or damaged in
any manner. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
only by the manufacturer's authorized service personnel or by a
qualified electrician.
D. To avoid the possibility of the
appliance plug or electrical
outlet getting wet, position
the appliance to one side
of a wall mounted outlet to
prevent water from dripping
onto the outlet or plug.
A "drip-loop" should be
arranged. The "drip-loop" is
that part of the cord below
the level of the outlet, or the
connector if an extension
cord is used, to prevent
water from traveling along the cord and coming in contact with
the outlet. If the plug or outlet does get wet, DO NOT unplug
the electrical cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that
supplies power to the appliance, then unplug and examine for
presence of water in the outlet.
3. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with significantly impaired physical or mental
capabilities, unless they have been given supervision or
4
instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children should always be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
4. To avoid injury, do not contact hot surfaces.
5. Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use,
before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never
yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to
disconnect.
6. Do not use the appliance for other than intended use. The use
of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance
manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
7. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to
weather or to temperatures below freezing.
8. The safety of this appliance is guaranteed only provided that the
adaptor and light unit are properly installed. Ensure sufficient air
space around the fixture.
9. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should
be used. A cord rated for less amperes or watts than the appliance
rating may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so
that it will not be tripped over or pulled.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Only close adherence of these installation, electrical and
maintenance guidelines will ensure the safe and efficient use of
this appliance.
