• The outlet used for the connection must be located in direct proximity to
the device and be easily accessible.
• The power strip is equipped with a child safety device. Only when the
prongs of a power plug are placed in both openings of a socket at the
same time will the child-lock mechanism release the opening.
However, take special caution when children are around. Children can-
not realise the danger arising from the incorrect use of electrical devices.
There is a risk of a life-threatening electric shock!
• Do not carelessly leave the packaging material lying around since this
may become a dangerous plaything for children.
• Handle the product with care; it may be damaged by impacts, blows, or
accidental falls, even from a low height.
b) Installation location
• The product may be used in dry, enclosed indoor areas only; it must not
get damp or wet! Never set up the product in the direct vicinity of a bath-
room, shower, bathtub or similar. There is a risk of a life-threatening elec-
tric shock!
• The product is not a toy and does not belong in the hands of children. Posi-
tion the product so it is out of the reach of children.
• The product must not be exposed to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight
or strong vibrations.
• Completely unwind the mains cable during use. The power cable must
not be pinched or damaged by contact with sharp edges. Do not place
any objects on the cable, and do not allow it to become kinked. Install the
cable where no one can stumble over it and the plug is easily accessible.
Do not install the mains cable under carpets or the like.
• Do not operate the device in environments where there are high levels of
dust, flammable gases, vapours or solvents. There is a danger of fire and
explosion!
c) Handling and use
• Never touch, operate, plug in or unplug the product with damp or wet
hands. There is a risk of a life-threatening electric shock!
• Never connect the product to the power supply immediately after it has
been transferred from a cold room into a warm one (e.g., during transport).
The condensation that develops in such cases could damage the device
or cause an electric shock! Allow the product to reach room tempera-
ture. Wait until the condensation has evaporated. This might take several
hours. Only after this should the product be plugged into the power supply
and put into use.
• Always pull a mains plug on the gripping surface intended for this pur-
pose. Never unplug the mains plug from a mains socket by pulling the
cable!
• Do not overload the outlet strip. Observe the connected load in the chap-
ter “Technical data”.
• Do not connect in series! This can lead to an overloading of the power
strip! There is a risk of fire!
Plug the earthed mains plug of the power strip directly, e.g., into a wall
socket. Do not connect other power strips to this power strip.
• Do not operate while it is covered! At higher connected loads, the power
strip and the connecting cable may become warm, which can lead to
overheating and potentially a fire if covered!
• Current-free only when the plug is withdrawn!
• Do not use the product when it is damaged (e.g., housing, mains cable,
mains switch). There is a risk of a life-threatening electric shock!
In this case, dispose of the product in an environmentally correct manner.
Safe operation can no longer be assumed if:
- the product shows visible signs of damage
- the product does not work at all or works poorly (leaking smoke or a
smell of burning, audible cracking noises, discolouration to the product
or the adjacent surfaces)
- the product was stored under unfavourable conditions
- it was exposed to heavy loads during transport
• Use the product only in a temperate climate, never in a tropical climate.
