SOME DO’S 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 interconnections between
pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw
the mains plug when 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.
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 off, withdraw the mains plug and
consult your dealer.
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose
dangerous voltages.
DON’T
leave equipment switched on when it is
unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed
for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch
off 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 infirm or handicapped people.
