Grounding
This amplifier is a protection class I device (with an earth conductor). To exclude the
risk of electric shock in the event of a fault, the unit must be grounded.
2.1. Placement
2.1.1. Location
MiniWatt equipment is designed strictly for use in a dry domestic environment. Do
not use it outdoors or in humid environments!
Never place plants or liquid-filled containers on your MiniWatt equipment. Avoid
dropping objects or spilling liquids into the case. Should this happen, remove the
mains plug immediately and have your amplifier checked by a qualified service
technician.
Condensation may form if the amplifier is taken from a cold environment into a warm
one. If you do this, wait until the amplifier has reached room temperature and is dry
before switching it on.
Avoid installing the unit close to sources of heat such as radiators or anywhere that
may be in direct sunlight.
Do not operate the unit near flammable materials, gases or vapours. Avoid areas
where there may be heavy accumulations of dust or where the unit may be subject to
mechanical vibration.
Place your MiniWatt amplifier on a stable, even surface.
2.1.2. Ventilation
Make sure that your amplifier has a good flow of air around it. If you intend to install
your equipment in a cupboard or a shelf unit, ensure that there is at least ten
centimeters gap between the ventilation slots and the walls all around the amplifier.
The rear panel of cupboards should have ventilation holes to prevent heat build up.
Do not rest the equipment on a soft surface such as carpet or foam sheeting.
2.2. Warranty
MiniWatt can only guarantee the safety, reliability and performance of this unit if
modifications and repairs are carried out by specialized personnel and when the
amplifier is operated in accordance with the instructions contained in this manual
