SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ENGLISH

This product was designed and manufactured to meet strict
quality and safety standards. There are, however, some
installation and operation precautions which you should be
particularly aware of:

1. Read Instructions - All the safety and operating
instructions should be read before the appliance is
operated.

2. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating
instructions should be retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in
the operating instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions
should be followed.

5. Water and Moisture - The appliance should not be used
near water - for example near a bathtub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a
swimming pool, etc.

6. Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only
with a cart or stand that is recommended by the
manufacturer.

6A. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with

care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause the appliance and cart combination to
overturn.

7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be
mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the
manufacturer.

12. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying
particular attention to cords and plugs, convenience
receptacles and the point where they exit from the
appliance.

13. Cleaning - Unplug the unit from the mains supply before
cleaning. The appliance should normally only require a
wipe over with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. If it is heavily
soiled then a cloth slightly dampened with a
water/washing up liquid solution may be used. Dry the unit
afterwards with a dry cloth. We do not advise the use of
furniture type cleaning sprays/polishes as this can cause
white marks, which are very difficult to remove, if the unit
is then wiped over with water.

14. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna/ aerial should be
located away from power lines.

15. Non-use Periods - The power cord of the appliance
should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for
a long period of time.

16. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that
objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the
enclosure through any openings.

17. Abnormal Smell - If an abnormal smell or smoke is
detected from the appliance, immediately turn the power
off and unplug the unit from the wall outlet. Contact your
dealer immediately.

18. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be
serviced by qualified service personnel when:

8. Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its
location or position does not interfere with its proper
ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be
situated on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface that may
block the ventilation openings or placed in a built-in
installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may

impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.

9. Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other

appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

a power supply only of the type described in the operating
instructions or as marked on the appliance.
