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 and/or

damaged. If the power cord is 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.

 Use the original packaging and materials to transport the fixture in for service.
