Important Information Regarding Fuse Replacement

This product employs overload protection (fuse). A blown fuse indicates an overload or short circuit 
situation. If the fuse blows, disconnect all power to the product. Replace the fuse as per the user servicing 
instructions (follow product marking for proper fuse rating) and check the product. If the replacement fuse 
blows, a short circuit may be present and the user should discontinue use of the product until customer 
service can be contacted for further assistance.
