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 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 specifi-
cally 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 dis-
tracted from the requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to watch television
whilst driving a vehicle.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or
soft furnishings. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the
equipment.
DON’T use the makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws – to
ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs
with the fixings provided according 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 in a fatal electrical shock;
- NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind. It is
better to be safe than sorry!
