Warning
Guidelines for safe operation
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to
comply with international safety standards.
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this
equipment.
However, as with any electrical appliance, care must be tak-
en to ensure optimal results and operational safety.
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 adap-
tor or consult your dealer.
• Before attempting to use this equipment, read the operating
instructions thoroughly.
• Ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains
plug, extension leads, etc.) have been made in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off, remove the fuse and
dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible shock
hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.
• If ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of
this equipment, consult your dealer.
If a new mains plug has to be fitted, then follow the instruc-
tion given below:
• Handle all glass panels or covers with care.
Important
• Never operate this equipment if it appears damaged or oper-
ates abnormally. Turn the power off, disconnect the main
power plug and consult your dealer.
Do not make any connection to the larger terminal which is
marked with the letter E or by the safety earth symbol “ ” or
coloured green or green-and-yellow.
• Never remove any affixed panels or covers. Doing so may
result in electrical shock.
The wires in the mains lead on this product are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
• Never leave this equipment operating unattended unless
otherwise specifically stated that it is designed to do so or
in standby mode. Only use the designated power switch to
turn off the power and ensure that all potential users are in-
structed how to do so. Make special arrangements for in-
firm or handicapped persons.
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured
marking identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as fol-
lows:
• Never listen to headphones at high volume. Doing so may
damage your hearing.
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the ter-
minal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
• Never obstruct the ventilation of this equipment. Doing so
may cause overheating and result in a malfunction or dam-
age.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
When replacing the fuse only a correctly rated approved type
should be used and be sure to re-fit the fuse cover.
• Never use makeshift stands or attempt to affix legs with
wood screws. When using a manufacturer’s approved stand
or legs, use only the fixtures provided and follow the instal-
lation instructions.
If in doubt — consult a competent electrician.
How to replace the fuse
• Never allow this equipment to be exposed to rain or mois-
ture.
Open the fuse compartment with a blade screwdriver, and re-
place the fuse.
• Never allow anyone, especially children, to insert anything
into an opening in the case. Doing so may 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.
