AVERTISSEMENT
• RISQUE D’EXPLOSION. Cet équipement contient des
pièces pouvant émettre un arc électrique ou des étincelles
qui ne doivent pas entrer en contact avec des vapeurs
inflammables. Il doit être utilisé dans un espace dans
lequel l'air est au moins renouvelé quatre fois par heure
ou doit être surélevé de 46 cm au moins au-dessus du sol.
• Ne pas toucher le filtre en verre à rayons ultraviolets
pendant l’utilisation.
• Utiliser la lampe pendant 5 minutes au maximum et
laissez-la refroidir pendant 10 minutes avant de la
réutiliser. Des inspections, brèves et intermittentes
réduiront l’accumulation de chaleur et augmenteront la
durée d’utilisation de l’ampoule.
• L'interrupteur temporaire MARCHE/ARRÊT (ON/OFF) ne
doit pas être verrouillé en position MARCHE (ON). Ceci
annulera la garantie de la lampe.
• Toujours débrancher la lampe de sa source d'alimentation
électrique et la laisser se refroidir jusqu'à pouvoir la
toucher avant de la ranger ou de la démonter.
