CAUTION
The POWER switch on this unit will not completely shut
off all power from the AC outlet. Since the power cord
serves as the main disconnect device for the unit, you
will need to unplug it from the AC outlet to shut down all
power. Therefore, make sure the unit has been installed
so that the power cord can be easily unplugged from the
AC outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard, the
power cord should also be unplugged from the AC outlet
when left unused for a long period of time (for example,
when on vacation).
