BEFORE STARTING
Dear customer,
Thank you for choosing the Magnat MA 800 vacuum tube amplifier.
Please read the following information carefully before starting to use the MA 800.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Please read the instruction manual carefully before use and keep it in a safe place.
• This device is only intended for use with 230 V/50 Hz AC voltage.
• Only operate the device at an ambient/room temperature between 0°C and 40°C.
• A valve amplifier generates a lot of waste heat. Make sure there is sufficient ventilation for the
device. There must be a minimum gap of 10 cm between objects to the side and to the rear. The
area above the amplifier should be as free as possible, however there should be a clear gap of at
least 20 cm to other objects.
• The ventilation slots should not be covered by any items (e.g. curtains, newspaper, etc.) in order
to ensure sufficient ventilation for the device. Please do not position any sources of heat, such as
radiators, ovens, naked flames or other devices that generate heat in close proximity to the device.
• The device and the remote control should not be exposed to dripping or splash water or high levels
of humidity.
GB
• No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be places on the unit.
• In the event of contact with moisture or liquids remove the mains adapter immediately.
• Only clean the device using a dry cloth.
• Do not use any cleaning agents or chemical solvents when cleaning, as these could damage the
surface of the device.
• The mains cable must always be operational. The device should not continue to be operated if there
is visible damage to the mains cable. A damaged cable should not be repaired, but must be
replaced.
• Do not connect or remove the mains cable with damp hands.
• Always refer to a qualified specialist for any maintenance or repair work.
• If the device is not going to be used for a prolonged period, it should be switched off at the mains.
• Please remove the mains plug in the event of thunderstorms.
• Only connect the device using a 3-pin power cable with ground wire (earth)! This is part of the
original accessories. Only use this original accessory for the power supply or a power cable that
has been examined with regards to its safety (e.g. with a TÜV or VDE certificate).
• The safety function of the power cable's earthed plug should not be impaired in any way. The
earthed plug has two contacts as well as a protective earth contact (i.e. a total of 3 contacts). The
protective earth contact is important for operational safety and it must be in contact with the
protective earth contact of the wall socket which supplies the device with electricity. If the earthed
plug of the supplied power cable is not applicable with the socket (power supply) in your country,
please refer to a qualified technician to exchange the cable.
This symbol warns the user that high voltage is used within the device which can
result in electric shock.
This symbol makes the user aware that there are important notes in the enclosed
instruction manual which must be observed.
Warning:
Do not open! Risk of electric shock!
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this unit to rain
or moisture.
