1 Safety regulations
We advise you to read the following information concerning the safety regulations carefully in order to ensure safe use of the appliance.
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
- The receiver must be supplied by a 230 Volt AC, 50Hz current.
- Do not remove the cover. The inside of the appliance could contain high voltages which could endanger the user. High voltage is also present when the appliance is on standby. The receiver should be disconnected from the power supply before performing an intervention. Non-authorised removal of the cover will mean that the warranty is no longer valid!
POWER CABLE
- Before installing the appliance, make sure the cable is intact, paying particular attention to its connection to the power supply and to the receiver. If the cable is damaged do not attempt to connect the appliance and refer the problem to an authorised centre for assistance.
- When installing the cable make sure that it can not be flattened in any way by items placed above or next to the appliance. Avoid placing the cable in an area where it could accidentally be stepped on, removed from the wall or damaged in any way.
- If the cable is damaged in any way carefully disconnect the receiver from the power supply and refer to specialised technicians or to the centre for assistance for repair.
LIQUIDS
- Keep the appliance far from any liquids. Do not place objects containing liquids on the appliance, such as vases, humidifiers, etc. The appliance must not be installed in areas where it could come in contact with sprays or drops of water or in an environment with a high level of humidity where condensation could occur.
- If the receiver should accidentally come in contact with liquids, immediately disconnect it from the power socket. DO NOT TOUCH the appliance until it has been disconnected.
SMALL OBJECTS
- Keep the receiver away from coins or other small objects. Objects which fall into the appliance via the ventilation gaps could cause serious damage.
CLEANING
- Before cleaning, disconnect the receiver from the power supply.
- To clean the outside of the receiver use a soft and dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using products which contain chemicals or solvents.
VENTILATION
- Make sure that the area where the appliance is to be installed has good air circulation so that the heat can be dissipated well in order to avoid overheating.
- In order to allow enough ventilation it is necessary to have a distance of at least 10 cm on either side of the appliance and 15 cm above the appliance.
• The vents must be kept clear of any obstructions such as newspapers, tablecloths, furniture materials, etc. - Avoid installing the receiver close to any heat sources (i.e. radiators, stoves, etc.) or on top of any other appliances which omit heat (video recorders or DVD players, etc).
WARNING!
- Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.
- The plastic bags used for packaging can be dangerous. To avoid suffocating keep the bags out of the reach of children.
- Do not expose the receiver or remote control to direct sunlight.
- The appliance must be placed on a solid and stable base.
- Connect the receiver to the power supply only after installation is complete.
- Dispose of the product correctly so as to avoid damage to the environment and human health as well as to facilitate recycling of the components/materials in the appliance. If the product is not disposed of properly this could be punishable according to the existing law.
- The manufacturer recommends that the parts be recycled separately and be taken to sites which conform to current regulations.
- When no longer usable, take the product (including accessories and batteries), which must be kept separate from regular household waste, to a collection point authorised to handle waste from electrical or electronic appliances. Otherwise, it is possible to return the used or unusable appliance to your distributor when you decide to purchase a new one.
