Safety guidelines

Safety instructions

This product is designed and manufactured to meet strict 
quality and safety standards. However, you should be aware of 
the following installation and operation precautions:

1. Take heed of warnings and instructions

You should read all the safety and operating instructions 
before operating this appliance. Retain this handbook for future 
reference and adhere to all warnings in the handbook or on 
the appliance.

2. Water and moisture

The presence of electricity near water can be dangerous. Do 
not use the appliance near water – for example next to a 
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, in a wet basement or near a 
swimming pool, etc.

3. Object or liquid entry

Take care that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into 
the enclosure through any openings. Liquid fi lled objects such 
as vases should not be placed on the equipment.

4. Ventilation

Do not place the equipment on a bed, sofa, rug or similar 
soft surface, or in an enclosed bookcase or cabinet, since 
ventilation may be impeded. We recommend a minimum 
distance of 50mm (2 inches) around the sides and top of the 
appliance to provide adequate ventilation.

5. Heat

Locate the appliance away from naked fl ames or heat 
producing equipment such as radiators, stoves or other 
appliances (including amplifi ers) that produce heat.

6. Climate

The appliance has been designed for use in moderate climates.

7. Racks and stands

Only use a rack or stand that is recommended for use with 
audio equipment. If the equipment is on a portable rack it 
should be moved with great care, to avoid overturning the 
combination.

8. Cleaning

Unplug the unit from the mains supply before cleaning.

The case should normally only require a wipe with a soft, damp, 
lint-free cloth. Do not use paint thinners or other chemical 
solvents for cleaning.

We do not advise the use of furniture cleaning sprays or 
polishes as they can cause indelible white marks if the unit is 
subsequently wiped with a damp cloth.

9. Power sources

Only connect the appliance to a power supply of the type 
described in the operating instructions or as marked on the 
appliance.

10. Power-cord protection

Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely 
to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against 
them, paying particular attention to cords and plugs, and the 
point where they exit from the appliance.

11. Grounding

Ensure that the grounding means of the appliance is not 
defeated.

12. Power lines

Locate any outdoor antenna/aerial away from power lines.

13. Non-use periods 

If the unit has a standby function, a small amount of current will 
continue to fl ow into the equipment in this mode. Unplug the 
power cord of the appliance from the outlet if left unused for 
a long period of time.

14. Abnormal smell

If an abnormal smell or smoke is detected from the appliance, 
turn the power off immediately and unplug the unit from the wall 
outlet. Contact your dealer immediately.

15. Servicing

You should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that 
described in this handbook. All other servicing should be 
referred to qualifi ed service personnel.

16. Damage requiring service

The appliance should be serviced by qualifi ed service personnel 
when:

A. 

the power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged, or

B.  objects have fallen, or liquid has spilled into the appliance, 

or

C.  the appliance has been exposed to rain, or
D.  the appliance does not appear to operate normally or 

exhibits a marked change in performance, or

E.
