SOME DOS 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
inter-connections between the pieces of equipment) are properly made and in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch o and withdraw the mains
plug before 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 the equipment.
DO route the mains lead so that it is not likely to be walked on, crushed, chafed, or subjected
to excessive wear and tear or heat.
..............................................................
DON’T remove any xed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation openings of the equipment with items such as newspapers,
tablecloths, curtains, etc. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the
equipment.
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to dripping or splashing, or objects lled with
liquids, such as vases.
DON’T place hot objects or naked ame sources such as lighted candles or nightlights on, or
close, to equipment. High temperatures can melt plastic and lead to res.
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER x legs with wooden screws. To ensure complete safety
always t the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the xings provided and
according to the instructions.
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios that will distract you from the
requirements of trac safety.
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your
hearing.
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specically stated that
is designed for unattended operation or has a stand-by mode. Switch o using the ON/
OFF switch on the equipment or at the mains socket, and make sure that your family
knows how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for inrm or
handicapped people.
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 o, remove the mains plug from the mains socket
and consult your dealer.
..............................................................
ABOVE ALL
– NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other
opening in the equipment – this could result in a fatal electric shock.
– NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind. It is better to be safe
than sorry!
