IMPORTANT SAFETY ADVICE
The following safety advice must be always followed before using electrical equipment:
Please read carefully through the following information concerning safety and proper use. Before reading, fold out
the page with the illustrations and make yourself familiar with all the functions of the equipment. Be careful to keep
these advice notes and if necessary pass them on to a third party.
Do not operate the equipment if the mains plug, cable or the equipment itself is damaged.
If the equipment is dropped, then it must be checked by an electrician before further use.
Dangerous voltages are present inside the equipment. Never open the housing or insert objects through the ventilation holes.
Do not allow liquids to get into the equipment. In case of emergency, pull out the plug from the socket.
Similarly, if a fault develops during use or before you start to clean the equipment, pull the plug out if the socket.
Do not carry out any modifications or repairs to the equipment yourself. This includes changing the mains cable. Have repairs
done to the equipment or the mains cable only by an electrician or at a specialist service centre. Unsatisfactory repairs can lead
to considerable danger for the user.
Children frequently underestimate the dangers associated with electrical equipment. Therefore you must never leave children
unsupervised in the vicinity of electrical equipment.
In addition, you should never leave the equipment working unattended.
The equipment is not to be used in a damp room (e.g. bathrooms) or rooms where there is a lot of dust.
The heat building up inside the equipment can lead to faults or to it catching fire.
Do subject this equipment to extremes of temperature:
– Avoid direct sunlight and heaters
– Do not cover the ventilation slots
– Leave approx. 10 cm free around the sides
The equipment is not to be used in the direct vicinity of inflammable materials (e.g. curtains, inflammable liquids etc.).
If the equipment is brought into a warm room from the cold (for example after transport) then this can lead to condensation forming
on the insides. To protect the equipment from damage, allow at least 2 hours before switching it on.
Equipment connected to the mains during a thunderstorm can be damaged by lightning. Therefore you should pull the plug out
of the mains socket during a storm and disconnect the aerial.
To completely disconnect the equipment from the electricity supply, the plug must be removed from the socket. When doing this
always pull on the plug itself and never on the cable.
Protect the mains cable from hot surfaces or other sources of damage and do not allow it to become constrained.
Check the mains cable regularly for any damage.
Unwind the mains cable completely before use.
Make sure that the mains cable does not represent a trip hazard.
If you are likely leave the equipment unattended for a long period, pull the plug out of the socket and take out the batteries
from the remote control.
The equipment is intended for private and domestic use only.
Note: The Designer Audio Unit is provided with anti-slip rubber feet. The rubber feet may become stuck to or softened by the material
used for or used to clean the supporting surface. This cannot be excluded because of the variety of materials in common use.
You should therefore place an anti-slip layer under the feet.
Environmental protection:
Never use combinations of new and used batteries. Never dispose of used batteries in the household
waste. Take them to an appropriate collection centre.
