Important Safety Instructions
When using your video equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1. Read and understand all instructions before using.
2. Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled, or
contact hot surfaces.
3. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating at
least equal to that of the appliance should be used. Cords rated
for less amperage than the appliance may overheat.
Save These Instructions
Pre-Installation
1. Carefully unpack screen.
2. Make sure to recheck measurements of screen location
before installation.
3. Remove instruction cover plate (Fig. 1). Do not remove
wrapping paper or tape strips until screen is installed.
4. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this
appliance. Contact an authorized service dealer when repair
work is required. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock
when the appliance is used subsequently.
5. The use of an accessory attachment not recommended by the
manufacturer may cause a risk of ire, electric shock, or injury to
persons.
Ironing Board
Professional Electrols 14' and over contain an ironing board to
latten the fabric (long strip attached). The ironing board is part
of the screen case. Do not remove. Contact Da-Lite if the ironing
board is in need of adjustment. (Fig. 2).
