• Ensure the UV system is completely powered off and disconnected from the electrical supply before attempting any installation, replacement, or maintenance.
• Handle the bulb by its base or ends to avoid touching the glass, as oils from your skin can reduce its effectiveness and lifespan.
• Dispose of used bulbs according to local regulations for fluorescent lamps, as they contain mercury.
• Tenere fuori dalla portata dei bambini.
