Notes on the environment by Grundig

Technology and ecology combine into a convincing overall concept with this TV set. Ecologically highquality materials are used exclusively. The housing contains a high amount of recyclable parts from used plastics and the surface colours used are water-based, partly recycled. Wherever possible, painting of individual housing parts has been omitted. Due to the optimized housing construction, flame protection materials have been omitted. The number of plastic types has been reduced through and through in order to ensure high-quality recycling when the set is put out of use – all larger plastic parts are marked. For optimum re-use, this TV set has been constructed in such a way as to make dismantling very easy.

Dear customer

In order that you may enjoy the entertainment of this high-quality comfortable TV set for a long time it is very important that you observe the following points when installing the set.

Heat could build up inside the set. Heat building up inside the set causes danger and

has a negative influence on the life expectancy of the set. From time to time, have a specialist remove the particles which have collected inside the set.

Do not damage the mains supply cable. The appliance may only be operated using the mains cable set supplied.

Do not set up any magnetic fields (e.g. loudspeakers) near the set.

Make sure that no liquids or external objects penetrate the appliance (danger of short circuits).
