For your own safety
• You should never attempt to remove the
rear panel of the TV yourself. The set op-
erates with high voltages which could be
fatal. Leave repairs and servicing of your TV
set to authorized TV technicians.
• Due to the picture tube, TV sets have their
centre of gravity fairly near to the front. The
TV set therefore has a tendency to tip for-
ward relatively easily which could cause
injury to persons.
Only stand the TV set on a level, firm base.
The set must stand on all feet. The TV
should not overhang particularly when it is
placed in a cabinet or on a shelf.
If the TV is placed on a stand, make sure
this is larger than the surface area of the
base of the TV.
When using turntables and drawer shelves,
make sure they have a sufficient load ca-
pacity.
We recommend you to use only original
parts, e.g. Loewe racks and stands.
If the TV set is placed on a console with
castors, move the console carefully because
the console and the TV could tip over.
Consoles with castors may considerably
reduce the stability of the sets placed on
them, so only use consoles specially
designed and approved for the TV.
Never allow children to handle the TV set
unsupervised.
Do not allow children to play close to the
TV set, they could knock, push or pull it
from the stand and injure someone.
• Do not place the TV anywhere where it may
be exposed to vibrations. Vibrations can
lead to overloading of materials.
• Do not leave the TV on unsupervised.
• Pull out the antenna and mains plugs
during a thunderstorm. Surge voltages from
lighting strikes can damage the set both
through the antenna system and the mains.
You should also pull out the antenna and
mains plugs during long periods of ab-
sence.
• The mains plug of the TV must be easily
accessible so that it can be disconnected
from the mains quickly at any time.
• Lay the power cable so that it cannot be
damaged. The power cable may not be
kinked or laid over sharp edges, and may
not be walked over or exposed to chemi-
cals; the latter applies for the entire TV
set.
A power cable with defective insu-
lation can lead to electric shocks and
is a fire risk.
• When you pull out the mains plug, do not
tug the cable but hold the housing of the
plug. The cables in the mains plug could
be damaged and cause a short circuit the
next time it is plugged in.
