improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. Please read all safety and operating instructions carefully  
before installation and use, and keep these instructions handy for future reference. Take special note of all warnings listed in

1. Water and Moisture – The unit should not be used near water. For example: near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink,  
laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement.  
2. Ventilation – The unit should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For  
example, it should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface that may block ventilation openings. Also, it
