Important information
Safety
Ensure that your domestic mains supply voltage matches the voltage indicated on the identification sticker located at the back of your set.
The TV set's components are sensitive to heat.The maximum EN ambient temperature should not exceed 35° Celsius. Do not
cover the vents at the back or sides of the TV set. Leave sufficient space around it to allow adequate ventilation. Install the appliance away from any source of heat (fireplace, ...) or appliances creating strong magnetic or electric fields.
Moisture in rooms where the set is installed should not exceed 85% humidity. If you have to use the TV set outdoors, do not expose it to rain or splashing water.Therefore be careful not to place any object containing a liquid (vase, glass, bottle,...) on or near your appliance. Moving the set from a cold place to a warm one can cause condensation on the screen (and on some components inside the TV set). Let the condensation evaporate before switching the TV set on again.
If you intend to be away for a long period, switch the TV set off at the on/standby switch B. Even when off, some components remain in contact with the mains electricity supply.To completely isolate the set you must remove the plug from the mains supply socket.
During thunderstorms, we recommend that you disconnect the TV set from the mains and aerial so that it is not affected by electrical or electromagnetic surges that could damage it. For this reason, keep the mains and aerial sockets accessible so they can be disconnected, if necessary.
Unplug the TV set immediately if you notice it giving off a smell of burning or smoke.You must never, under any circumstances, open the TV set yourself, as you run the risk of an electric shock in doing so.
