CAUTION: Halogen lamp (A) contains gas under pressure. Handling the halogen lamp improperly could cause it to shatter into flying fragments. To avoid possible injury:

• Switch off the light and allow the halogen lamp to cool down before exchanging it. Leave switch off until the halogen lamp has been exchanged.
• Wear safety goggles and gloves.
• Hold the halogen lamp only by its base. Keep the halogen lamp away from oil; wear gloves to prevent contact with the glass.
• Do not let the halogen lamp fall and make sure that it does not get scratched. Keep moisture away.
• Do not use lamps that fell down or have scratches on the glass (danger of splintering).
• Place a used halogen lamp in the carton of the new halogen lamp and dispose of it properly. Keep out of the reach of children.
