Do not use a bulb that has been dropped or if
its glass tube has been scratched.

Only operate bulbs in enclosed lamps
designed for that purpose. Only install spare

life of the bulbs. Do not touch the glass tube
with your bare hands. If necessary, clean the
glass tube when cold with alcohol or spirit and
rub it off with a lint-free cloth.
Protect bulbs from moisture during opera-
tion. Do not allow bulbs to come into contact
with liquids.

that you cannot replace. Only replace the
bulbs listed ( Y

sult a qualified specialist workshop.
