IKEA STRALA Mode D'emploi page 7

Older sets, which may have been hurriedly dismantled
following the previous year's festivities and stored for 12
months, need to be carefully checked for any damage
to the lamps (light bulbs), lampholders and conductors
(wires).
The following are examples of items that should be
checked before plugging in the set to the mains.
The flexible cable and lampholders:
is the cable in good condition?
is it free from cuts, fraying and damage?
are the connections at each lampholder sound?
are the lampholders free from cracks or damage, that
might give access to the live cable or live contacts of the
lamps?
The lamps:
are they all in place, undamaged, properly screwed or
pushed in?
The plug/transformer
Check that the plug is not damaged.
Look for signs of overheating.
Check the fuse (if any), make sure it is the correct rating.
IF ANY DOUBT, HAVE THE SET CHECKED BY A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN BEFORE USE OR SCRAP AND PURCHASE A
NEW SET.
Where the set is intended to be connected to the supply
via a 'plug-in transformer', only use the transformer
supplied with the set. Otherwise if the output voltage
does not match the voltage of the lamps overheating
may result.
