further question, please contact our customer service� See contact information in item Manufacturer’s

2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The power supply is only guaranteed to function properly if the instructions are
followed�
Never open the power supply case� The electronic components inside the case
generate a high voltage that is dangerous to humans� Even after disconnecting the
power supply from the network, some parts still have high voltages� For this reason, a
power supply adapter should only be opened by an authorized technician�
Opening the device voids your warranty.
∙ Never handle the power supply with wet or damp hands when in operation�
∙ Never insert objects into the power supply’s apertures/fans�
∙ Note that the power supply is designed for use indoors in conditions without high levels of moisture
in the ambient air� Using the power supply outdoors will lead to serious damage�
∙ Never work on the power supply while it is connected to the mains� In this case, always set the power
switch to "0" and / or disconnect the power plug�
∙ In the event of a short circuit in the device, unplug the mains cable and do not use the device�
Make sure that your PC is not located directly next to a heating system or any other source of heat�
Make sure that your computer case is suciently ventilated by means of additional fans; with today’s
complex and powerful systems a power supply is incapable of dissipating the heat produced in the PC
case without additional support�
If you want to clean your power supply, disconnect it completely from the mains and never use a damp
cloth or cleaning agent� Clean the power supply from the outside using a dry cloth�
Before using the power supply, allow it to warm up to room temperature for one hour to prevent
condensation accumulating in the power supply�
