1. Take heed of warnings and instructions

You should read all the safety and operating instructions
before operating this appliance. Retain this handbook for future
reference and adhere to all warnings in the handbook or on
the appliance.

2. Water and moisture

The presence of electricity near water can be dangerous. Do
not use the appliance near water – for example next to a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, in a wet basement or near a
swimming pool, etc..

3. Object or liquid entry

Take care that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into
the enclosure through any openings. Liquid fi lled objects such
as vases should not be placed on the equipment.

4. Ventilation

Do not place the equipment on a bed, sofa, rug or similar
soft surface, or in an enclosed bookcase or cabinet, since
ventilation may be impeded. We recommend a minimum

distance of 50mm (2 inches) around the sides and top of the
appliance to provide adequate ventilation.

5. Heat

Locate the appliance away from naked fl ames or heat
producing equipment such as radiators, stoves or other
appliances (including other amplifi ers) that produce heat.

6. Climate

The appliance has been designed for use in moderate climates.

7. Racks and stands

Only use a rack or stand that is recommended for use with
audio equipment. If the equipment is on a portable rack it
should be moved with great care, to avoid overturning the
combination.

8. Cleaning

Unplug the unit from the mains supply before cleaning.
The case should normally only require a wipe with a soft, damp,

lint-free cloth. Do not use paint thinners or other chemical
solvents for cleaning.

We do not advise the use of furniture cleaning sprays or
polishes as they can cause indelible white marks if the unit is
subsequently wiped with a damp cloth.

9. Power sources

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

10. Power-cord protection

Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely

them, paying particular attention to cords and plugs, and the
point where they exit from the appliance.

11. Grounding

Ensure that the grounding means of the appliance is not
defeated.

12. Power lines

Locate any outdoor antenna/aerial away from power lines.

13. Non-use periods

If the unit has a standby function, a small amount of current will
continue to fl ow into the equipment in this mode. Unplug the
power cord of the appliance from the outlet if left unused for
a long period of time.

14. Abnormal smell

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

described in this handbook. All other servicing should be
referred to qualifi ed service personnel.
