For your own safety
• You should never attempt to remove the rear
panel of the TV yourself. The set operates
with high voltages which could be fatal.
Leave repairs and servicing of your TV set to
authorized TV technicians.
• Due to the picture tube, TV sets have their
center of gravity fairly near to the front.
The TV set therefore has a tendency to tip
forward relatively easily which could cause
injury to persons.
Only stand the TV set on a level, fi rm base.
The set must stand on all feet. The TV should
not overhang particularly when it is placed in
a cabinet or on a shelf.
If the TV is placed on a stand, makes sure
this is larger than the surface area of the
base of the TV.
When using turntables and drawer shelves,
make sure they have a suffi cient load capac-
ity.
We recommend you to use only original
parts, e.g. Loewe racks and stands.
If the TV set is placed on a console with cas-
tors, move the console carefully because the
console and the TV could tip over. Consoles
with castors may considerably reduce the
stability of the sets placed on them so only
use consoles specially designed and ap-
proved for the TV.
Never allow children to handle the TV set
unsupervised.
Do not allow children to play close to the TV
set, they could knock, push or pull it from the
stand and injure someone.
• Do not place the TV anywhere where it may
be exposed to vibrations because this can
lead to overloading of materials.
• Do not leave the TV on unsupervised.
• Pull out the antenna and mains plugs during
a thunderstorm. Surge voltages from lighting
strikes can damage the set both through the
antenna system and the mains.
You should also pull out the antenna and
mains plugs during long periods of absence.
• The mains plug of the TV must be easily ac-
cessible so that it can be disconnected from
the mains quickly at any time.
• Lay the power cable so that it cannot be
damaged. The power cable may not be
kinked or laid over sharp edges, and may not
be walked over or exposed to chemicals; the
latter applies for the entire TV set. A power
cable with defective insulation can lead to
electric shocks and is a fi re risk.
• When you pull out the mains plug, do not
tug the cable but hold the housing of the
plug. The cables in the mains plug could be
damaged and cause a short circuit the next
time it is plugged in.
