Usage Features:
Before using the MITTLED, it is crucial to read the manual carefully and keep it for future reference. The product is designed for indoor use only.
- Installation: Installation, dismantling, and maintenance must always be performed with the power supply disconnected to prevent accidents. The manual provides detailed visual instructions for mounting the light strip within a cabinet or drawer. It specifies the use of screws (part number 108445) for secure attachment.
- Connection: The LED driver and power supply cord are sold separately. The MITTLED must be connected to a safety transformer with a SELV (Safety Extra-Low Voltage) output. Only IKEA LED drivers suitable for this product should be used. The total wattage of all lamps connected to a single LED driver must not exceed the maximum power stated on that LED driver, and never more than 30W. This ensures safe and optimal operation of the lighting system.
- Operation: After proper installation and connection, inspect the product to ensure the integrity of the plug, socket, and cord before inserting the plug into the socket. The integrated sensor will then control the light, turning it on when a drawer is opened and off when it is closed.

- Do not operate the product if it has mechanical damage.
- Do not install or disassemble the product when the power is on.
