3.1. UNPACKING
Before starting installation, carefully examine the shaker for damage or missing parts.
Open the box and lift the device together with inner packing, out of the box.
Remove the inner packing and check that the shaker has not been visibly damaged during
transportation. Keep the packing material until you are sure that the shaker works properly.
Check information on the rear data label and verify the correct electrical rating:
- Model
- Serial
Number
- Electrical
rating
Should any kind of damage have occurred during transportation, immediately notify the carrier. The
carrier is responsible for correcting damage caused in shipment.
3.2. SELECTING A SUITABLE LOCATION
When selecting a location for the shaker, please consider following:
Put the device on a smooth, horizontal and stable surface.
Leave enough space around the device for normal air circulation, minimally 10 cm.
Leave enough space around the device, so it can be easily controlled and maintained.
Don’t use the device in surroundings where there are major temperature and humidity
fluctuations. Also avoid locations in direct sun light or places near devices that produce heat.
Avoid locations with excessive vibrations.
3.3. ATTACHING POWER CORD
Fit the main power cord, which is included in the package, into the power receptacle on the shaker.
Connect the other end of the cord to a properly grounded wall outlet. To avoid interference from noise,
surges and spikes, a dedicated line is preferred. If no such line is available, avoid lines to which
powerful electric motors, refrigerators and similar devices are connected.
Take care when you plug the cord to a grounded wall socket. Do not touch
plug with wet hands. Plug the cord to a grounded wall socket only with dry
hand.
