For your safety
For your safety and to avoid unnecessary damage to your TV set, please read and observe the following safety instructions:
•This TV set is designed exclusively for reception and reproduction of video and audio signals.
• This equipment is designed for domestic and office environments and must not be used in rooms with high humidity (e.g. bathroom, sauna) or high concentrations of dust (e.g. workshops). If the equipment is used in the open air, ensure that
it is protected against moisture (rain, drips, splashes, sprayed water or dew). Do not place any containers filled with liquids or lit
candles on top of the TV. High levels of moisture and con- centrations of dust cause leakage currents in the equipment, which
can lead to danger of electric shock or fire.
The manufacturer‘s warranty is only valid for use in the specified permissible environment.
•If you have moved the TV set out of the cold into a warm environment, leave it standing for about an hour since condensation may form.
•This equipment must only be connected to a mains power supply which has the same voltage and frequency as that specified on the rating plate; use the power cable provided. Incorrect voltages can damage the equipment.
•Like all electronic equipment, your TV needs air for cooling. Obstruction of the
air circulation can cause fires. Therefore the air vents on the back must always be kept free. Please do not place newspapers
or cloths on/over the TV. If the TV is placed in a cabinet or on a shelf, lea- ve at least 10 cm at the sides and 10 cm at the top to ensure sufficient air circulation.
Position the set so that it is not exposed to direct sunlight and additional
heating from radiators.
•Prevent any metal parts, needles, paper clips, liquids, wax or the like from get- ting into the TV set through the air venting slits in the rear panel. This can lead to
•Never remove the back of the TV set yourself. Repair and servicing of your TV set should only be carried out by authorised TV technicians.
•Place the TV set on a level, firm base. The set should not protrude at the front when installing in cabinets or shelves.
Only use original accessories if possible, e.g. Loewe wall holders and stands. Never let children handle the TV unattended.
Do not allow children to play in the immediate vicinity of the TV, they could knock, shift or pull it over and injure someone.
Never leave the TV on unsupervised.
•Do not install the TV where there may be vibrations. Vibrations can lead to material stress.
•Pull out the power and antenna cables during thunderstorms. Surge voltages caused by lightning strikes can damage the TV through the antenna system and the mains. Also remove the antenna and mains plugs in long periods of absence.
•The mains plug of the TV set must be easily accessible so that the set can be disconnected at any time.
•Lay the mains cable in such a way that it will not be damaged. The power ca- ble may not be kinked or laid over sharp edges, not stood on and not exposed to chemicals, the latter also applies to the device as a whole. A mains cable with damaged insulation can lead to electric shocks and is a fire risk.
•When removing the mains plug, pull the plug housing and not the cable. The wires in the plug could be damaged and cause a short circuit the next time it is plugged in.
