SOME DO’S 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
interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when 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 equipment.
★★★★★★★★★★★
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 off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it
is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on
the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this. Special arrangements
may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the
requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.

to the instructions.
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.
ABOVE ALL
— NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots
or any other opening in the case — this could result fatal electrical
shock:
