SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES

DO NOT TOUCH the fixture housing during operation. Turn OFF the power and allow

approximately 15 minutes for the fixture to cool down before serving.

DO NOT shake fixture, avoid brute force when installing and/or operating fixture.

DO NOT operate fixture if the power cord has become frayed, crimped, damaged and/or if

any of the power cord connectors are damaged and do not insert into the fixture securely

with ease. NEVER force a power cord connector into the fixture. If the power cord or any of

its connectors are damaged, replace it immediately with a new one of similar power rating.

DO NOT block any air ventilation slots. All fan and air inlets must remain clean and never

blocked. Allow approx. 6” (15cm) between fixture and other devices or a wall for proper cooling.

When installing fixture in a suspended environment, always use mounting hardware that is

no less than M10 x 25 mm, and always install fixture with an appropriately rated safety cable.

Always disconnect fixture from main power source before performing any type of service

and/or cleaning procedure. Only handle the power cord by the plug end, never pull out the

plug by tugging the wire portion of the cord.

During the initial operation of this fixture, a light smoke or smell may emit from the interior

of the fixture. This is a normal process and is caused by excess paint in the interior of the

casing burning off from the heat associated with the lamp and will decrease gradually over time.

Consistent operational breaks will ensure the fixture will function properly for many years to come.

ONLY use the original packaging and materials to transport fixture in for service.
