1. Safety Information
Read all instructions carefully before beginning installation. Failure to follow these instructions could result in electric shock, fire, or personal injury.
- Electrical Safety: Always disconnect power at the main circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning installation or performing any maintenance. Ensure all electrical connections comply with local codes and ordinances. If you are unfamiliar with electrical wiring, consult a qualified electrician.
