Overloading / overvoltage
x
Avoid overloading of mains sockets, extension cables
and adapters as this can result in fires or electric
shocks.
x
Use overvoltage protection to prevent damages
caused by overvoltage (e.g. electrical storms).
Cables
x
Always hold cables by the connector, and do not pull
the cable itself.
x
Never touch the mains cable with wet hands, as this
can lead to a short circuit or electric shock.
x
Never position the device, furniture or other heavy
items on the cable. Ensure that the cable does not
become kinked, especially on the connector and
sockets.
x
Never knot the cable, and do not tie it to other cables.
x
All cables should be laid so that they cannot be
stepped on or cause an obstruction.
x
A damaged mains cable can cause a fire or electric
shock. Check the mains cable from time to time.
x
Never modify or manipulate the mains cable or plug.
x
Do not use plug adapters or extension cables that do
not conform to the applicable safety standards, and do
not make alterations to power supply cables or mains
cables.

cumstances (do not place objects containing water on
or near the device, such as vases or drinks).
x
Foreign objects must not penetrate the device.
x
The device must not be exposed to strong variations
in temperature, as this can lead to condensation and
electrical short circuits.
x
The device must not be exposed to excessive jolts or
vibrations.
Remote control
x
Remove all batteries if the device will not be used for
a sustained period, as these can leak and damage
