DANGER
– For each of the following situations, do not attempt
repairs yourself; return the product to an authorized service
facility for service if it is still under warranty or discard the
appliance. Do not operate the appliance if it has a damaged
electrical cord or if it is malfunctioning or if it is dropped or
damaged in any manner. Never use with an extension cord
unless plug can be fully inserted. Do not attempt to defeat this
safety feature.
3.
DANGER
If the appliance falls into the water, DON’T reach for it!
First unplug it and then retrieve it. If the electrical components of
the appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately.
4. For
INDOOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY, NOT
for commercial use.
5. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not
be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
6. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug,
or if it is malfunctioning or if it is dropped or damaged in any
manner. If the external flexible cable or cord of this luminaire is
damaged, it shall be exclusively replaced by the manufacturer or
his service agent or a similar qualified person in order to avoid
a hazard.
7. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or electrical socket
getting wet, position the unit to one side of a wall mounted
socket to prevent water from
dripping onto the socket or
plug. A “drip-loop” should be
arranged. The “driploop” is
that part of the cord below
the level of the socket, or
the connector if an extension
cord is used, to prevent water
from traveling along the cord and coming into contact with the
socket. If the plug or socket does get wet,
DO NOT
unplug the
cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power
to the appliance. Then unplug and examine for the presence of
water in the socket.
