range of 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. 

To determine the power requirements for this product (circuit breaker, power outlet, and 
wiring), use the current value listed on the label affixed to the product’s back panel, or 
refer to the product’s specifications chart. The listed current rating indicates the 
product’s average current draw under normal conditions. 

 

 

 

Always connect this product to a protected circuit (circuit breaker or fuse), 
making sure that it has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of 
electrocution or fire. 

 

 

 

Never connect this product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even
