•When an extension cord is used:

– The marked rating of the detachable power supply cord or extension cord should be at least as

great as the electrical rating of this appliance.

– The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can

be tripped over, snagged, or pulled on unintentionally (especially by children).

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO WATERPROOF SPOTLIGHTS

The rubber “O” ring acts to preserve the waterproof qualities of the spotlight. The “O” ring contacts the end cap to prevent water from entering the gap. An undamaged rubber “O” ring, rubber bezel and lens, and proper sealing of the end cap before use are very important.

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:

•Attempting to remove the rubber “O” ring; use of the unit with a damaged “O” ring, rubber bezel or lens; improper sealing of the waterproof end cap; and/or submerging this unit in depths greater than 6 feet may cause the unit to no longer be waterproof. Do not submerge the unit if these conditions exist or the unit could sustain permanent damage.

•Submerging this unit in depths greater than 6 feet and/or operating it in water temperature other than between 41ºF and 104ºF (5ºC and 40ºC) could result in leakage, warping or malfunction, causing permanent damage to the spotlight.
