consumer products and some points may not apply to the goods you have just purchased.
DON'T remove any fixed 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

dripping or splashing or objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, to be placed on the equipment.

such as lighted candles or nightlights on, or close to

lead to fires.
DON'T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs
with wood screws. To ensure complete safety,

such use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON'T leave equipment switched on when it is

equipment of any kind – it is better to be safe
than sorry.

the mains lead. DO NOT cut off the mains plug
