consejos/recomendaciones
Hi Mike,
I've seen this before and may have even suggested something different, but looking at it now I just don't see it working idiomatically in Spanish, hence the suggestions.
Good luck!

A conejo or recomendación can be made either in a negative or positive sense, so there's no need to worry about people confusing their do's and their dont's!

Actually, just been thinking over a coffee:
People are probably drawn to this part by the "don'ts". After all, we tend to have a logical fear about any procedure, in much the same way as we look for the side effects of medicines.
From this point of view, I think my suggestion needs something to oppose the "consejos" and draw the reader: advertencias. Yup, that's what I'd go with:
Consejos y Advertencias.
G'Luck!
Álvaro :O)

También quisiera agradecer a Elías, Tomás, Cesar y Rosacast. - Mike :)"
