Safety information 

Place the set on a hard, flat and stable surface
so that the system does not tilt.

Where the MAINS plug or an appliance cou-
pler is used as the disconnect device, the dis-
connet device shall remain readily operable.

Do not expose the set, batteries, CDs to
humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat caused
by heating equipment or direct sunlight.

The apparatus shall not be exposed to 
dripping or splashing.

Adequate ventilation with a minimum gap of
15 cm between the ventilation holes and sur-
rounding surfaces is necessary to prevent
heat build-up.

The ventilation should not be impeded by
covering the ventilation openings with items,
such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc..

No objects filled with liquids, such as vases,
shall be placed on the apparatus.

No naked flame sources, such as lighted can-
dles, should be placed on the apparatus.

The mechanical parts of the set contain 
self-lubricating bearings and must not be oiled
or lubricated.

To clean the set, use a dry cloth. Do not use
any cleaning agents containing alcohol,
ammonia, benzene or abrasives as these may
harm the housing.

CD player and CD handling 

If the CD player cannot read CDs correctly,
use a cleaning CD to clean the lens before
taking the set to repair.

The lens of the CD player should never be
touched!

Sudden changes in the surrounding 
temperature can cause condensation on the
lens of your CD player. Playing a CD is then
not possible. Do not attempt to clean the
lens but leave the set in a warm environment
until the moisture evaporates.

Always close the CD door to avoid dust on
the lens.

To clean the CD, wipe in a straight line from
the center towards the edge using a soft,
lint-free cloth. Do not use cleaning agents as
they may damage the disc.

Never write on a CD or attach any stickers
to it.
