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
damanged 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 unat-
tended 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.
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios
so that you are distracted from the requirements of
road safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst
driving.
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use
can permanently damage your hearing.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for
example with curtains or soft furnishings.
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the
life of the equipment.
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with
wood screws — to ensure complete safety always
fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with
the fixings provided according to the instructions.
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or
moisture.
ABOVE ALL
— NEVER let anyone especially children push anything
into holes, slots or any other opening in the case
— this could result in a fatal electrical shock;
— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment
of any kind — it is better to be safe than sorry!
