Placement

Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight,

high temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These

conditions can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby

shortening the unit’s service life.

Do not place heavy items on the unit.

Voltage

Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the

unit and cause a fi re.

Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when

setting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC is used.

the AC mains supply and contact your dealer.

Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain
