Carefully remove the unit from the box. Prior to
permanently installing the unit, test to make sure

mended for the unit but not required. Additional
electrical appliances on the same circuit may ex-
ceed the current (amperage) rating for that circuit.
If after the installation of your unit, the circuit
breaker trips or the fuse fails on a repeated basis,
then a dedicated circuit will likely be required.Any
new wiring must be done in compliance with local
and national codes and other applicable regula-
tions in order to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock or other injuries. Therefore, it is strongly
recommended that you hire a licensed electrician
to complete any such work.
CAUTION: The unit's power
supply cord must be connected
to a properly grounded and pro-
tected 120-volt outlet. Always
use ground fault protection
where required by the electri-
cal code.
WARNING: Do not operate
the unit if it is damaged or has
malfunctioned.Ifyoususpectthe

chanical adjustment or repair.
