years of trouble-free service. Please see Adjusting the Bias and 
Replacing Tubes (pages 9 and 10) for special instructions. 

3. 

Vacuum tubes dissipate a large amount of heat and will result in 

very high temperatures: 
a.  Do not touch the tubes with bare hands during, and 

immediately after operation. It could cause severe burns.  

b.  The I60 features a removable “tube cage”. However, we 

recommend that for the sake of safety, you operate the unit 

with the tube cage left in place. 

c.  Do not leave the device within the reach of children. 
d.  Vacuum tubes are made of glass, and hot tubes will shatter 

if a single drop of water lands on it! Care must be taken so 

that objects do not fall into, and liquids are not spilled into 
the unit. 

e.  Do not expose the tubes to moisture. 

f. 

Do not attempt to clean the device with a wet cloth, or any 
solvents or cleaning solutions. 

4. 

The vacuum tube amplifiers are fragile instruments. Do not 

subject the unit to excessive shock, smoke, dust, or mechanical 
vibration. 

5. 

Do not move the amplifier while the tubes are still hot. Allow the 

amplifier to cool down first before attempting to relocate the 
amplifier or to change the tubes. 

6. 

Do not connect or disconnect the loudspeakers from the 

amplifier while it is playing. Turn the amplifier off, and wait a 
couple of minutes before making any connections. Before 

turning the amplifier on, it should be properly connected. 

7. 

Do not run the amplifier without the appropriate 
loudspeakers connected to it. 

8. 

This device should be operated at a maximum of 5A current. Do 

not replace the internal fuse with one rated higher than 5A.
