Unplug the power source remove cover and visually check and carefully clean the interior without touching 

any internal electrical components, wires or PCB boards and by taking special care not to damage any 

components. Use compressed air set at no more than 70 Psi to carefully blow out all dust and debris. 

Warning! 

There is extremely dangerous voltage, and power levels present inside this 

product. Do not attempt to open or repair unless you are a qualified electrical
