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

between the pieces of equipment) are properly
made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions. Switch off 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

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 fi 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.
English - 5 -
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to
dripping or splashing, or objects fi lled with liquids, such
as vases, to be placed on the equipment.
DON’T place hot objects or naked fl ame sources
such as lighted candles or nightlights on, or close to
