SOME DO'S AND DON'TS FOR THE
SAFE USE OF YOUR EQUIPMENT
(for U.K.)
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international
safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you
are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, exten-
sion leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly
made and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Switch off and
withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, opera-
tion or safety of your equipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on the equipment.

DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it
working normally, or if it is damaged in any way-switch off, withdraw the mains
plug and consult your dealer.
DON'T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON'T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is spe-
cifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has a standby
mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your
family knows how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for
infirm or handicapped people.
DON'T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are
distracted from the requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to watch televi-
sion whilst driving a vehicle.
DON'T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently
damage your hearing.
DON'T obstruct the ventilation openings of the equipment, for example with
curtains or soft furnishings. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the
life of the equipment.
DON'T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws - to en-
sure complete safety always fit the manufacturer's approved stand or legs
with the fixings provided according to the instructions.
DON'T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.
ABOVE ALL
-
NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes,
slots or any other opening in the case - this could result in a fatal
electrical shock;
-
NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any
kind. It is better to be safe than sorry!

DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY
We declare under our sole responsibility that this product, to which this
declaration relates, is in conformity with the following standards:
EN60065, EN55013, EN55020, EN60555-2 and EN60555-3.
Following the provisions of 73/23/EEC, 89/336/EEC and 93/68/EEC
Directives.
IMPORTANT
The mains lead on this equipment may be supplied with a moulded plug
incorporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on the pin face of the
plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved BS1362
fuse must be used of the same rating. If the fuse cover is detachable, never
use the plug with the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse cover is required,
ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse
covers are available from your dealer.
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not
suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a
power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or
consult your dealer.
Should it be necessary to change the mains plug, this must be carried out by
a competent person, preferably a qualified electrician.
If there is no alternative to cutting off the mains plug, ensure that you dispose
of it immediately, having first removed the fuse, to avoid a possible shock
hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.
IMPORTANT
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following
code:
Blue:
NEUTRAL
Brown:
LIVE
As these colours may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying
the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the
letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must be
connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN or
RED.
On no account connect either of these wires to the terminal marked E or by
the earth symbol
or coloured green or green and yellow.
Alternatively, this equipment may be supplied with a rewireable plug already
fitted, which may be removed if not suitable and an alternative fitted in accor-
dance with the preceding instructions.
