Main risks

• Electrical risk due to incorrect installation, damaged cables or loose connections.
• Overheating if the luminaire is covered or is too close to combustible materials (wooden frames, paper, fabrics, curtains).
• Unit falling due to inadequate fixings, potentially damaging the artwork and causing injury.
• Glare and visual fatigue due to improper aiming of the light beam.
• Artwork deterioration (discolouration or frame heating) from prolonged exposure or excessive proximity.
• Risk in damp areas if the product is not designed for such use (corrosion, short circuits).
• Tripping hazards or accidental tugs caused by loose or poorly routed cables.

Safe use

• Follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation and use wall plugs and screws suitable for the wall type; ensure a firm, level fixing.
• Maintain a safe distance between the luminaire and the picture/fabrics; do not rest the unit on the frame and allow ventilation around it.
• Use only the recommended light source, wattage and accessories; if dimming, do so only with compatible dimmers.
• Before handling, disconnect from the mains or unplug and allow to cool completely.
• Do not cover the luminaire or place it close to curtains or other combustible items; avoid enclosed display cases unless the product permits.
• Aim the light to avoid reflections and glare when moving around the room.
• Route cables flush to the wall or protect them to prevent tugs; do not pinch them with the frame or furniture.
• Do not use outdoors or in bathrooms or other humid areas unless the product explicitly states otherwise.
• Permanent connection to the mains must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
• If you detect a burning smell, abnormal flickering or excessive temperature, switch off and stop using until checked in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Storage and maintenance

• Clean when cool with a soft, dry cloth; avoid abrasive products, solvents or aerosols on the luminaire and the picture.
• Periodically remove dust from the surface and from any slots to aid heat dissipation.
• Periodically check screws and fixings; re-tighten if necessary without over-tightening.
• Check the condition of cables, switches and plugs; if visible damage is present, do not use the product.
• Replace the light source when performance declines, following the specifications; do not force the lampholder or modify the unit.
• If battery-powered: use the specified type, do not mix new and used batteries, observe polarity and remove them if the equipment will not be used for long periods.
• Store the product and spare parts in a dry place, protected from dust, with no weight on top and away from sources of heat or moisture.
• Monitor the condition of the picture over time; if you notice discolouration or the frame heating up, increase the distance or reduce the time it is switched on.

Restrictions of use

• Not a toy; keep out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not use the picture light if the wall has cracks, damp or the mounting surface is unsuitable.
• Do not install on unstable surfaces, weak frames or directly onto flammable materials.
• Do not drill, open or modify the luminaire, the cable or the bracket.
• Do not exceed the maximum wattage indicated or use incompatible bulbs or light sources.
• Do not cover with fabrics, diffusers or shades not designed for this model.
• Do not use with extension leads or overloaded multi-socket adaptors, or on overloaded circuits.
• Do not use as emergency lighting, nor leave it on for long periods unattended when positioned very close to combustible materials.
