1.2 Safety instructions
The following section contains important information relating to operation, place of installation
and connecting-up of the receiver.
Read these notes carefully before putting the unit into operation.
Important notes regarding operation
•
Extended absence / Thunderstorms
Always switch the unit off via its mains switch during periods of extended absence or at
the onset of thunderstorms. This also applies to any other equipment attached.
•
Mains lead
Make certain that the mains lead (power supply lead) is undamaged. Never put the unit
into operation if the mains lead is damaged.
•
Cleaning
Withdraw the mains plug before cleaning the unit. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.
•
Children-at-play
Pay attention that children do not insert objects into the ventilation slots. There is a risk of
mortal danger due to electric shock.
•
Repairs
On no account remove the housing cover since there are dangerous voltages inside the
unit that may be contacted. The und must only be opened by qualified specialists, so allow
them to carry out any repairs or adjustments to your receiver. Unauthorised opening
entails loss of guarantee.
The electrical safety of the unit can be affected by improper tampering with it.
The manufacturer's liability excludes accidents occurring to the user when the unit is
opened.
Important notes for sitting and installation
•
Place of installation
Every electronic device generates some heat. The rise in temperature, however, lies
within safe limits. Nevertheless, this does not rule out the possibility of slight colour
changes to sensitive furniture surfaces and veneers over time due to the constant effect of
heat.
In conjunction with treated furniture surfaces, the unit's rubber feet can likewise give rise
to changes in colour. Where necessary, place the unit on a suitable pad.
•
Ventilation
The heat that is generated in this unit is dissipated quite adequately. Never install the
receiver in a cabinet, shelf or rack with inadequate ventilation. Never close-off the
openings on the unit that are intended for heat dissipation.
Do not place objects on top of the unit. Maintain a clearance of at least 10 cm above the
unit so that the heat generated within the unit is convected away without obstruction.
•
Mains voltage
Run the receiver only from a mains voltage of 23OV / 5O/60Hz.
The unit is not to be connected to the mains until after all the installation work has been
completed.
•
Humidity
Protect the unit against humidity, drips and splashes.
