Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to weather or temperatures below freezing. 9. Make sure any component mounted on a tank is securely installed before operating it. 10. Ensure input voltage is the same voltage as your local power supply. 11. If an extension cable is used it should have the proper rating. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped or pulled. 12. A G.F.C.I (Ground fault circuit interrupter) & surge protector is recommended for all electrical appliances. 13.
