1.1.3. Setup instructions
The unit has been manufactured for normal operating conditions. Please remember:
today's furniture is coated with an overwhelming variety of paints, lacquers and
synthetic materials. Thus it is quite possible that some of these materials contain
components which can attack or soften the plastic feet on the unit. Feet on the unit
which are possibly altered by foreign substances can leave marks on your furniture.
Frama cannot accept any liability for obvious reasons. With this in mind, use a
non-slip underlay.
Note!
Avoid exposing the unit to direct sunlight.
1.1.4. Proper use
1.Only use the intended accessories! The use of unapproved or unauthorised
accessories can shorten the unit's useful service life. In addition, doing so can put
the operator in danger.
2.Do not clean the unit with flammable fluids. There is a risk of explosion!
3.Before cleaning the unit, pull the mains plug out of the socket. Clean the unit only
using a damp cloth. Do not spray any liquids on or inside the unit. There is the risk
of an electrical shock – potentially fatal!
Danger!
4.Do not place any fluids, glasses, franking ink, etc. on the unit.
