CAUTION
Risk of burns due to touching hot surfaces
During operation and for a short time after the converter shuts down, the surface of the device
can reach a high temperature. Touching the surface of the converter can cause burns.
• Do not touch the device during operation.
• After shutting down the converter, wait for the device to cool down before touching it.
