Always use the on/off button on the
control panel to turn the product on or off. Never
simply switch the product on or off by plugging it into
or unplugging it from the wall socket.
–
Disconnect:
Turn off the unit first and then unplug
it when it is not in use and before maintenance or
cleaning, but do not unplug it when it is in operation,
as this could create a spark and cause a fire. Grip by
the plug, do not pull by the cord when disconnecting.
–
RCD:
The installation of a residual current device
(safety switch) is recommended to provide additional
safety protection when using electrical appliances. It
is advisable that a safety switch with a rated residual

the electrical circuit supplying the appliance. See your
electrician for professional advice.
