Safety Considerations
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, maintenance, or
use can cause explosion, fire, electrical shock, or other conditions which
may cause death, personal injury or property damage. Consult a

when installing.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses, protective clothing and
work gloves. Have a fire extinguisher available. Read these instructions
thoroughly and follow all warnings or cautions included in literature and
attached to the unit. Consult local building codes and the current editions
of the National Electrical Code (NEC) NFPA 70.
In Canada, refer to the current editions of the Canadian Electrical Code
CSA C22.1.
Recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert symbol
you see this symbol on the unit and in instruction manuals, be alert to the
potential for personal injury.
Understand the signal words DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION.
