For your own safety
• You should never attempt to remove the
rear panel of the TV yourself. The set
operates 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
center of gravity fairly near to the front. The
TV set therefore has a tendency to tip
forward 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, makes 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
capacity.
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 because this 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 absence.
• 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 chemicals;
the latter applies for the entire TV set. A
power cable with defective insulation 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.
