There must be enough room in built-in cabinets to allow for the cooling

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

air to circulate. The set should not be placed directly next to heating.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LEAVE ROOM FOR VENTILATION

AVOID HEAT, WATER, DIRECT SUNLIGHT.

Do not place audio loudspeakers near to television. The magnets in the speakers could cause patches of colour to appear

on the screen.

2. CARE OF THE EQUIPMENT

This appliance is designed for use in dry areas. If occasionally you

 

should whish to operate it outdoors (for example, on the balcony or

 

veranda), you must insure that it is protected against all forms of

 

moisture (dew, rain, splashed water).

 

A cold set may be switched on in a warm room only after any

 

condensation which may happen to be on the screen has evaporated.

 

Never remove the cabinet back. Have your aerial installed by an

 

authorised dealer or service technician.

 

In the evenings, after the TV programmes, or in case of a prolonged

 

absence, it is recommended that the appliance be switched off using

 

the main power switch. Even if the ON/OFF switch is in OFF position

 

the television set is not completely separated from the mains. In order

 

to separate it completely from the mains, it has to be disconnected by

 

unplugging the mains plug. Remove the power plug from the wall

GB

outlet under the following conditions :

 

1.During a thunderstorm. It is also recommended that you disconnect the aerial plug.

2.If you find a burning smell or smoke emerging from the set.

Additional information :

Your TV set is adequately shielded to prevent emission of X-rays.

The acceleration voltage does not exceed the maximum value of 33 kV.

Work by non-qualified technicians, modification of the high voltage setting or the replacement of the tube with a model that does not comply with the manufacturer’s specifications may lead to a considerable increase in X-ray radiation.

A set changed in any of the above ways no longer satisfies the initial specifications and should not be put back into service.

The screen should be cleaned with liquid glass cleaner.

Never use abrasive cleaners.

To clean the front and the cabinet of your equipment use a soft cloth dipped in mild detergent. The use of strong solvents such as white spirits or alcohol based products could damage your equipment.

Clean the vents on the rear panel of your set regularly.

3. DEMAGNETISATION

The earth’s magnetic field may have an effect on your television by causing patches of colour to appear on the screen. If this happens :

Switch off the television with the on-off button ;

Wait a few minutes and then press again to switch on.

This allows the screen to be demagnetised automatically. If patches of colour are still visible repeat the procedure.
