temperatures or humidity.
● The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping
or splashing and that no objects filled with liquid
such as vase shall be placed on the apparatus.
● No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,
shall be placed on the apparatus.
● Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the
