WARNING

Halogen Bulbs

  • Halogen lamps are filled with pressurized gas, which can scatter glass fragments into the surroundings if the glass bulb is damaged.
  • Handle them carefully and avoid scratches. Do not allow illuminated bulbs to come into contact with liquids. Never touch the glass bulb with bare fingers. Residual grease can cause the bulb to burst when switched on. Only operate a halogen bulb when it is installed.
  • Wenn eine Glühlampe beschädigt oder durchgebrant ist, ersetzen Sie diese sobald als möglich und entsorgen Sie die defekte Glühlampe sorgfältig.
  • Wear protective goggles when replacing bulbs. Let the bulb cool before removing it.
