SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and inter-
connections between the pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch o and withdraw the mains plug before making or changing connections.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your
equipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DO route the mains lead so that it is not likely to be walked on, crushed, chafed, or subjected to
excessive wear and tear or heat.
DON’T remove any xed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation openings of the equipment with items such as newspapers,
tablecloths, curtains, etc. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to dripping or splashing, or objects lled with
liquids, such as vases, to be placed on the equipment.
DON’T place hot objects or naked ame sources such as lighted candles or nightlights on, or close to
equipment. High temperatures can melt plastic and lead to res.
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER x legs with wood screws - to ensure complete safety always
t the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the xings provided according to the instructions.
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the
requirements of trac safety.
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specically stated that is
designed for unattended operation or has a stand-by mode. Switch o using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family knows how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for inrm or handicapped people.
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is
damaged in any way – switch o, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
ABOVE ALL
– NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in
the case – this could result in a fatal electric shock;
– NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind;
– it is better to be safe than sorry!

Used correctly, domestic batteries are a safe and dependable source of portable power. Problems can occur if they are misused or abused – resulting in leakage or, in extreme cases, re or explosion. Here are some simple guidelines to safe battery use designed to eliminate any such problems.
Take care to t your batteries correctly, observing the plus and minus marks on the battery and appliance. Incorrect tting can cause leakage or, in extreme cases, re or even an explosion.
Replace the whole set of batteries at one time, taking care not to mix old and new batteries or batteries of dierent types, since this can result in leakage or, in extreme cases, re or even an explosion.
Remove dead batteries from equipment and all batteries from equipment you know you are not going to use for a long time. Otherwise the batteries may leak and cause damage.
Store unused batteries in their packaging and away from metal objects which may cause a short-circuit resulting in leakage or, in extreme cases, re or even an explosion.
Never dispose of batteries in re as this can cause them to explode. Please recycle dead batteries; do not put with the normal household waste.
Supervise children if they are replacing batteries themselves in order to ensure these guidelines are followed.
Never attempt to recharge ordinary batteries, either in a charger or by applying heat to them. They may leak, cause re or even explode. There are special rechargeable batteries which are clearly marked as such.
Remember that small button cell batteries such as used in some hearing aids, toys, games and other appliances, are easily swallowed by young children and this can be dangerous.
Make sure battery compartments are secure.
Keep loose button cells away from young children.
Seek medical advice if you believe a cell has been swallowed.
