••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
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 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 know
how to do this.
Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.
