Télévision sets need ventilation to avoid overheating which can

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

cause damage to the components. The ventilation slots at the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

back of the set should not be covered up by curtains, small covers,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

newspapers, etc… 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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

prolonged absence, it is recommended that the appliance be

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

switched off using the main power switch. Remove the power

plug from the wall 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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

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.
