• Always connect an electrical appliance to an easily accessible mains socket. In
the event of an operating fault, the appliance must be switched off as soon as
possible and disconnected from mains supply.
• The power cord and mains plug must always be easily accessible for safe
disconnection of the electrical appliance from the power supply.
• Do not pull off the power cord by pulling the cable. Disconnect the power cord by
pulling the plug behind the power cord plug.
• If you use an extension cord, make sure that the total rated power of all devices
connected to the extension cord does not exceed the max. current load on the
extension cable.
• If you need to use an extension cord or power supply block, make sure that the
extension cord or power pack is plugged into a power socket, and not to another
extension cord or power supply. The extension power cord or power supply block
must be designed for grounded electrical plugs and connected to a properly
grounded electrical socket.
• The power plug of the appliance must be compatible with the mains socket. Never
use any adapters or modify the socket in any other way. Do not use inappropriate
or damaged drawers!
• To avoid electrical shock, plug the power cables into properly grounded electrical
sockets. If the device is equipped with a 3-pole plug, do not use adapters that do
not have a grounding element or remove the grounding element from the plug or
adapter.
• Do not bend, crush or otherwise expose the power cord of the appliance to
mechanical stress or external heat sources. Damage to the power cord may
result in electric shock.
• When the power cord is damaged, disconnect the appliance from the mains and
do not use it again.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
department or a similarly qualified person to avoid the risk of electric shock.
• Regularly check and maintain the electrical appliance as well as the power cord
and power socket. Disconnect the power plug regularly and clean it if necessary.
Pollution by dust or other substances may cause disruption of the insulating state
and consequently fire.
• Do not expose the appliance to water or moisture. The ingress of water into the
appliance increases the risk of electric shock.
If the power cord is wet or the water has penetrated the water, disconnect it
immediately from the mains. If the appliance is plugged into a mains socket and if
possible, turn off the power circuit before attempting
unplug the power. If you are pulling wet wires from a live power source, be very
careful.
• If the electrical equipment is installed (connecting) the protective covers are
dismantled, the electrical parts must not be accessible to the user when the
installation is finished.
