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 damaged 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 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 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.
