WARNING
Risks in handling household
electrical appliances
Risk of electric shock!
Touching live parts may result in severe
injury or death.
■
Only use the appliance indoors. Do
not use in wet rooms or in the rain.
■
Do not operate or continue to oper-
ate the appliance if
–
it shows visible signs of damage,
e.g. the power cord is defective,
–
it starts smoking or there is a smell
of burning,
–
it makes unfamiliar noises.
In such cases, pull out the mains plug
or unscrew/isolate the fuse and con-
tact our service department (see page
GB-25).
■
The appliance corresponds to protec-
tion class I and may only be connect-
ed to a plug with a protective conduc-
tor that has been installed properly.
When connecting, make sure that it
has the right voltage. You can fi nd
more detailed information about this
on the nameplate.
■
Connection to a timer or separate re-
mote control system for the purpos-
es of remotely monitoring and con-
trolling it is not permitted.
■
The appliance can only be complete-
ly disconnected from the power sup-
ply by pulling out the mains plug. The
appliance must therefore be connect-
ed to an easily accessible socket so
that it can be quickly disconnected
from the power supply in the event of
breakdown.
■
If the mains plug is no longer acces-
sible after installation, an all-pole dis-
connecting device complying with
overvoltage category III must be
connected to the house wiring with a
contact gap of at least 3 mm; this in-
cludes fuses, circuit breakers and con-
tactors.
■
Do not kink or pinch the mains cord
or lay it over sharp edges. This can re-
sult in a break in the cable.
■
When positioning the appliance, en-
sure the supply cord is not trapped or
damaged.
■
Do not locate multiple portable
socket- outlets or portable power sup-
plies at the rear of the appliance.
■
Keep the appliance, the mains plug
and the mains cord away from open
fl ames and hot surfaces.
■
Always touch the mains plug, not the
mains cord.
■
Never touch the mains plug with wet
hands.
■
Never immerse the mains cord or plug
in water or any other liquids.
■
If the mains cable of the appliance is
damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, through the customer
service department or by a qualifi ed
specialist.

pliance may only be carried out by
