Be sure to disconnect the power plug from the outlet before
disassembly or repair of the unit. Failure to observe this warning
could result in electric shock. Be very careful not to touch the live
parts when performing a repair work which requires power supply or
inspecting the circuit. Also, be very careful of the fan as it can start
rotating anytime.
