2. Sigurnosne informacije

Uvijek se pridržavajte sljedećih sigurnosnih mjera opreza tokom instalacije i rada:

• Isključite napajanje iz zidne utičnice prije instaliranja ili uklanjanja bilo kakvih komponenti.
• Nosite antistatičku narukvicu kako biste spriječili oštećenje osjetljivih komponenti uzrokovano elektrostatičkim pražnjenjem (ESD).
• Handle tempered glass panels with care. Avoid impacts or dropping them, as they can shatter.
• Držite male dijelove i vijke dalje od djece.
• Osigurajte odgovarajuću ventilaciju oko kućišta kako biste spriječili pregrijavanje.
