Before You Use Your Liquid Glass
®
Amplifier
For Your Protection
Dangerous High Voltages:
This amplifier uses dangerous and possibly lethal high voltages.
NEVER operate with the cover open
. When the amplifier is powered on dangerous high
voltages are present on the tube sockets in the tube cage.
NEVER insert fingers, hands, or
other objects, particularly conductive objects, into the tube cage area when the amplifier is
powered on or at any other time.
See the rest of this manual for procedures to change the
tubes.
Children:
Along with the presence of high voltages, the tubes in this amplifier, as in many other
vacuum tube amplifiers, get hot enough to cause severe burns. In addition the amplifier may
contain sharp pieces.
Keep the amplifier out of reach of children at all times.
Ventilation: In order to improve sound quality, your
Liquid Glass® amplifier runs
warm
and
thus requires free air circulation of
at least 6” around the top and sides
of the product. Never
place the amplifier in an enclosed space with restricted air flow. Never place it near another
source of heat. Excessive heat
will
shorten the life of the product and may cause a fire.
Water and moisture: NEVER
use the Liquid Glass® amplifier near water.
NEVER
handle the
amplifier while in contact with water.
NEVER
let the amplifier come into contact with water.
NEVER
spill water or other liquids into the amplifier or on the amplifier.
Power Sources:
Make sure that the voltage/frequency stated on the back label of your
amplifier is compatible with the line/mains voltage in your location.
Grounding:
The electrical ground in this amplifier is an important safety feature.
Do not defeat
ground with special plugs, power cords, etc. Doing so will void your warranty and may lead to
a dangerous condition.
Power Cords:
If you use your own power cord, use one that meets the standards of your
location.
Power and Signal:
Cables should never be connected or disconnected with equipment powered
up. Failure to heed this warning may damage or destroy equipment.
Servicing:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock or other injuries, the user should not attempt to
service the device beyond replacing tubes. All other servicing must be referred to
authorized
service personnel.
