DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads
and inter-connections between the pieces of equipment) are properly made and
in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch o and withdraw the
mains plug before 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 the equipment.
DO route the mains lead so that it is not likely to be walked on, crushed, chafed, or
subjected to excessive wear and tear or heat.
DON’T remove any xed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation openings of the equipment with items such as
newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc. Overheating will cause damage and
shorten the life of the equipment.
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to dripping or splashing, or objects
lled with liquids, such as vases.
DON’T place hot objects or naked ame sources such as lighted candles or nightlights
on, or close, to equipment. High temperatures can melt plastic and lead to res.
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER x legs with wooden screws. To ensure complete
safety always t the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the xings
