Important Safety Information
Please note and retain this information. Carefully read and follow all of the safety and oper- ating instructions before you use the machine. Be doubly careful to note and follow the warn- ings and special safety notices.
Connections: Only use the connections as described. Other connections can lead to health risks and equipment damage.
Water and Humidity: Do NOT use this machine anywhere near water (for example near a wash basin or bath, in a damp cellar, near swimming pools, or the like). In such cases there is an extremely high risk of fatal electrical shocks!
Insertion of Foreign Objects or Fluids: NEVER allow a foreign object through any of the machine‘s chassis openings. You can easily come into contact with dangerous voltage or cause a damaging short circuit. NEVER allow any fluids to be spilled or sprayed on the machine. Such actions can lead to dangerous electrical shocks or fire!
Opening the Machine: Do NOT open the machine housing, as there is great risk you will damage the machine, or – even after being disconnected – you may receive a dangerous elec- trical shock!
Electrical Power: Run this machine ONLY from sources which can provide proper power at the prescribed rating. When in doubt about a source, contact your dealer or a professional electri- cian. To be sure you have isolated the machine, do so by disconnecting the power cord from your wall connection. Be sure that the power cord plug is always accessible. When not using the machine for a longer period, make sure to unplug it from your wall power socket.
Power Cord Protection: Make sure that your power cord is arranged to avoid being stepped on or any kind of crimping and damage related to such event. Do not allow any equipment or furniture to crimp this power cord.
Power Connection Overloads: Avoid any kind of overload in connections to wall sockets, extension or splitter power cords. Always keep manufacturer warnings and instructions in mind. Overloads create fire hazards and risk of dangerous shocks!
Lightning: Before thunderstorms or other severe weather, disconnect the machine from wall power (but to avoid life threatening lightning strikes, not during a storm). Similarly, before any severe weather, disconnect ALL the power connections of other machines and antenna and phone/internet cables which may be interconnected so that no lightning damage or over- load results from such secondary connections.
Air Circulation: Chassis openings offer ventilation and serve to protect the machine from overheating. NEVER cover or otherwise close off these openings. NEVER place the machine on a soft surface (carpet, sofa, etc.). Make sure to provide for a mounting space of
Repairs: Unplug the machine and immediately contact a qualified technician when you think repairs are needed – or when moisture or foreign objects may accidentally have gotten in to the housing, or in cases when the machine may have fallen and shows any sign of having been damaged. This also applies to any situation in which the machine has not been subjected to any of these unusual circumstances but still is not functioning normally or its perfor- mance is substantially altered.
In cases of damage to the power cord or its plug, first consider turning off the main circuit breaker before unplugging the power cord.
Operate the controls and switches only as described in the manual. Incorrect adjustments outside safe parameters can lead to damage and unnecessary repair costs. Never use the switches or level controls to effect excessive or extreme changes.
Replacement/Substitute Parts: Be sure that any service technician uses original replacement parts or those with identical specifications as the originals. Incorrectly substituted parts can lead to fire, electrical shock, or other dangers, including further equipment damage.
Safety inspection: Be sure always to ask a service technician to conduct a thorough safety check and ensure that the state of the repaired machine is in all respects up to factory stan- dards.
Cleaning: In cleaning, do NOT use any solvents, as these can damage the chassis finish. Use a clean, dry cloth (if necessary, with an
