This symbol is intended to alert
the user to the presence of
uninsulated “dangerous voltage”
within the product’s enclosure
that may be of sucient
magnitude to constute a risk
of electric shock to persons.
Ce symbole a pour but d’arer l’aenon de l’ulisateur sur la présence, à
l’intérieur du boîer de l’appareil, d’une « tension dangereuse » non isolée,
qui pourrait être susamment puissante pour représenter un risque
d’électrocuon pour les personnes.
This symbol is intended to
alert the user to the presence
of important operang and
maintenance (servicing)
instrucons in the literature
accompanying the appliance.
Ce symbole a pour but d’arer l’aenon de l’ulisateur sur la présence,
dans la documentaon qui accompagne l’appareil, d’instrucons importantes
relaves à son ulisaon et sa maintenance (entreen).

8. Éloignez l’appareil des sources de chaleur : radiateurs, bouches de
souage, fours et autres (y compris les amplicateurs).
9. Pour réduire le risque d’électrocuon, le cordon d’alimentaon doit être
connecté à une prise de courant avec une mise à la terre de protecon.
10. Respectez le disposif de protecon de mise à la terre de la prise secteur.
Une prise polarisée est équipée de deux ches, l’une plus large que l’autre.
Une prise avec borne de terre est équipée de deux ches et d’une borne de
terre. La che large, ou la borne de terre, est garante de votre sécurité. Si
la che secteur fournie avec l’appareil ne correspond pas à la prise secteur
de votre installaon, faites remplacer cee dernière par un électricien.
11. Disposez les câbles de sorte qu’ils ne puissent pas être piénés, coincés ou
pincés ; une aenon toute parculière doit être accordée au niveau des
prises secteur et de l’embase secteur de l’appareil.
12. Ne débranchez pas l’appareil en rant sur le cordon. Ulisez la che.
13. Débranchez cet appareil du secteur lors des orages ou des longues
