They’re Important, So Please Read Carefully!
Please DO...
• Keep these instructions in a safe place for future
reference - you may need ‘em.
• The Carbon Trinity works best on a clean, dry and
flat surface. Try it, you’ll see.
• The Carbon Trinity needs room to breathe, so make
sure its new home has adequate ventilation. Don’t
put it on beds, sofas, rugs, enclosed bookcases /
cabinets or anywhere else where its ventilation
may be obstructed and it can overheat.
• Make sure that your Carbon Trinity is connected to
the correct power supply as indicated on the unit.
• Unplug your Carbon Trinity when it’s not in use for
a long period (we’re talking days, not hours).
• Always make sure power cables are placed safely
and not obstructing a walkway.
• If you move your Carbon Trinity from a cool to
a warm place, condensation may form on the
surface of the vacuum tube. It’s nothing to worry
about, but allow 1 hour before you switch it on
again. This will avoid leakage or a blow-out of the
vacuum tube due to too much sudden heat.
• You really should get your Carbon Trinity serviced
by an authorised service engineer if:
1. The power supply or cord is damaged
2. It drops or is struck by a falling object
3. It’s exposed to rain or moisture
4. Liquid is spilt on it
5. It’s not operating normally or shows a sudden
change in performance
Please DON’T...
• Don’t put your Carbon Trinity anywhere near water
– it hates it. So avoid placing it near bathtubs,
sinks, washing machines, swimming pools, saunas,
jacuzzis, kettles, precariously balanced pints of beer
etc.
• Expose it to direct sunlight or to extremes of
temperature or humidity.
• Don’t leave it near direct heat sources such as
radiators, stoves, gas fires, naked flames or candles.
• Never drop the unit. It’s delicate, so don’t apply
excessive force to the controls or place heavy
objects on top of it either.
• Don’t let too much dust gather on your iTube
– give it a regular wipe with a soft dry cloth. If
necessary, use a slightly damp cloth but DO NOT
use solvents.
• The Carbon Trinity has valves, and they can get hot.
Don’t touch the tubes and keep away from babies
and children.
• Don’t try to remove the cover or the back - there
are no user-serviceable parts, and you don’t want
to risk an electric shock.
NOTE: Any unauthorised changes or modifications
to this equipment render the manufacturer’s warranty
null and void.
