Important Information
1. Components inside your appliance are subject to high Voltage. Do not ever open it, even
after having removed the power cable. Generally speaking, audio & video appliances are

slightly wet cloth will perfectly remove dust.

not put anything on the ventilation grid. Do not ever put the receiver on another appliance;
the overheating would prematurely damage the components.
4. When there is a storm, unplug all your audio-video appliances from the mains: they could
suer damage not covered by manufacturers warranty.
5. According to the obligations pursuant to EN 60065 standard, we draw your attention onto
the safety elements below:
• Do not block the ventilation holes with paper, tablecloths, curtains, etc. A minimum
distance of 5 cm is required around the appliance to ensure enough ventilation.
• Do not put naked re sources on or close to the appliance, such as lit candles.
The appliance shall not be exposed to water dripping or splash. Do not put things lled
with water such as vases onto the appliance.
