A Consumer Guide to Product Safety  
When used in the directed manner, this unit has been designed and manufactured to ensure your personal safety. However,  
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 these instructions and on the unit.
