Page 40: General Instructions
For the cleanest power supply we recommend our triple-shielded power cord BURMESTER- POWER. IR receiver The IR receiver receives signals from the BURMESTER remote control and must not be covered up by any objects. Heat development Be careful when touching the housing – it may get quite warm during operation. - Page 41 Lightening strikes During the summer months, malfunctions often occur due to voltage spikes in the power lines after lightning strikes. Completely unplugging the power cord offers the only effective protection. Merely switching the unit off does not suffice since voltage spikes are able to arc over separated contacts.
