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.
DON’T
listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage
your hearing.
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 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!
