Additional Information for Units sold in Great Britain

Units sold in GB are suitable for operation from a 240 V AC, 50 Hz mains supply. In case this appliance is supplied with a Safet

y Standard Approved mains lead fitted with a non-rewireable 13 Amp mains plug which, if unsuitable for your socket, should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted by a qualified electrician. The fuse and fuse holder must be removed from the plug as accidental insertion of the redundant plug into a 13 Amp socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard.

Note: The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard

should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

If it is necessary to change the fuse in the non-rewireable plug, the correct type and rating (5 Amp ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362) must be used and the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged the lead and plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained. Replacement fuse covers should be obtained from your dealer.

If a non-rewireable plug or a rewireable 13 Amp (BS 1363) plug is used, it must be fitted with a 5 Amp ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362 fuse. If any othe type of

plug is used it must be protected by a 5 Amp fuse either in the plug or at the distribution board.

Important: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the follow-ing code:

BLUE – NEUTRAL BROWN – LIVE

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with the coloured marking identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: Connect the BLUE coloured wire to plug terminal marked with the letter "N" or coloured black. Connect the BROWN coloured wire to the plug terminal marked with a letter "L" or coloured red. In no circumstance must any of the wires be connected to the terminal marked with a letter "E", earth symbol , coloured green or green and yellow.

Replacement mains lead can be obtained from your dealer.

When setting up your television, select a location where as little light as possible falls on the screen.

The ideal viewing distance is five times the diagonal width of the screen.

If the television is to be built into a compartment or similarly enclosed, minimum distances must be maintained.

Do not cover the ventilation openings on the back.

The heat exchange inside the unit generates an air circulation which attracts dust particles (carpet and curtain fibres and home dust). These particles accumulate inside the ventilation slots obstructing these over the years and causing a build-up of heat.

Heat build-up can reduce the service life of your television, and can also be dangerous.

For your own safety, let remove the dust deposits by a specialist from time to time.

Never set up speakers next to the unit.

When setting up and using this unit, please make sure that the mains connection wire is free and not jammed in order to avoid damage.

Never place the television near heat sources.

Even if your television is switched off, it can still be damaged by lightning striking the mains and/or aerial cables.

For this reason, you should always disconnect your television from the mains and the aerial system during electrical storms.

Never expose the unit to moisture.

Do not insert foreign objects into the ventilation openings on the back. Caution! High voltage!
