objects get inside the appliance (ventilation slots
etc.). It must be disconnected from the mains power

around the appliance and that the surrounding air
can circulate (do not install in enclosed cupbo-
ards). Vents must not be covered up.
Volume
The maximum tolerable volume is always reached
well below the maximum possible setting on the
amplifier. Be careful with the volume setting, there-
fore, in order to prevent damage to hearing. So that
you do not expose yourself to high volumes uninten-
