Mounting
location
The GUV
TM
power unit can be mounted
in the garage, basement,
utility room, or
any other remote area, except where ex-
posed to weather, and no more than 5
feet from an electrical outlet.
Because
this unit requires ventilation, DO NOT
install in a heat producing
or confined
area such as the attic, furnace room, etc.
The top of the GUV
TM
power unit should
be no less than 12" (30.5 cm) from the
ceiling, and any corner wall to allow
proper cooling of the motor. For ease of
removing the dirt container, the bottom of
the unit should be at least 18" (46 cm)
above the floor.
DO NOT block the two small inlet holes
located above each latch holder.
Because the top surface of the GUV
TM
power unit gets hot during operation,
DO
NOT place or store any objects on top of
the unit.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
SHOULD AN EXTENSION
CORD BE
USED WITH THIS APPLIANCE.
