WARNING
Bulbs, lamps and plug connectors can
become very hot during use. When replacing a
bulb, you could burn yourself on these com-
ponents. There is a risk of injury.
Allow these components to cool down before
replacing the bulb.
Do not use a bulb if it has been dropped or if its
glass has been scratched.

R

R

Use bulbs only in closed lamps that have been
designed for this purpose. Fit only spare bulbs of
the same type and the specified voltage.
Marks on the glass reduce the service life of the
bulbs. Do not touch the glass tube with your
bare hands. If necessary, clean the glass tube
when cold with alcohol or spirit and rub it off
with a lint-free cloth.
