ADVICE FOR THE USER
In order that your device should function reliably, please follow the following recommendations :
- This apparatus shall not be exposed dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall
be placed on the apparatus.
- This apparatus should be connected to a MAINS socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
- Mains plug or appliance connector shall be used as the disconnect device, so mains plug or appliance connector should
always remain readily operable.
- Tubes can become very hot - risk of burn.
- Never open the case! You might receive an electric shock.
- Do not expose the device to dust, excessive humidity, direct sunlight or extremes of temperature.
- Make sure there is adequate ventilation at the back of the device.
- Do not subject the device to excessive vibration or violent jolts as these could damage the valves (tubes).
- After using the device, allow around 10 minutes for the valves to cool down before moving it.
- Always place the device on a stable, horizontal surface

minutes before they can deliver full power.
- When changing the valves, replace them only with valves selected by Framus, to avoid problems like noise,
microphonism and imbalance. (special selection criteria).

sure the mains voltage corresponds with the voltage indicated by a checkmark alongside the mains socket of the amplifier.
- Always make sure the device is earthed (grounded)!

- the mains lead (power cord) or mains plug (power cord input ) have been damaged
