If the controller or other parts of the equipment fail to function properly, do not use the warmer. A
potential shock hazard exists within the warmer module. Refer service to qualified personnel.
Failure to do so could result in infant injury or equipment damage.

To prevent injury or damage to the warmer, employ two persons of sufficient strength to
adequately control the warmer during transport. Use the handle when moving the equipment.

lowest position prior to transport. Ensure that items placed on the shelves are properly secured.
Failure to do so could result in infant injury, personal injury or equipment damage.
