Safety • DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR THESE UNITS. Surface unitsmay be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.
