Safety information
Dear customer,
the following safety and hazard warnings are not only for the protection of your device, but also
serve as a protection against potential health hazards. Please take time to read the following
instructions carefully.
We assume no liability for personal or property damage resulting from the failure
to comply with the safety instructions, improper operation and handling. Under
such circumstances, all claims under warranty will become void.
› For safety and licensing (CE) reasons any unauthorized modification and/or change
on the device is prohibited and will void the warranty and all warranty claims.
› Any persons operating, installing, setting up, or servicing this device must be trained
and qualified accordingly and observe these operating instructions.
› This is a protection class II device. Make sure that the voltage supply of the power
outlet used meets the required voltage (230 V~/50 Hz).
› Ensure that the device has been set up accordingly by following all instructions
found in the instruction manual.
› Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords
at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point at which they exit from the device.
Avoid exposing the cable to extreme heat or cold. Never modify/change the cable.
This could otherwise damage the cable and result in the dangerous risk of electric
shock.
› Should any evident damage be seen on the device or on the connection cables, do
not come in contact with or touch these. Switch off the corresponding circuit brea-
ker in the power distribution panel first, before carefully unplugging the power plug
from the wall outlet. Do not operate this device further! Please contact or take it to a
qualified service technician/specialty workshop.
› In order to completely cut off the power supply to the device, unplug the power
plug from the wall outlet. Merely turning the device off with the ON/OFF button is not
sufficient enough. Make sure that receptacles are easily accessible.

Small children are unaware of the serious and immediate dangers involved
when exposing themselves to or handling electronic devices. Furthermore,
this product contains small parts that could be swallowed.
› Never leave packaging material lying around unsupervised. For children it could be-
come a hazardous toy and lead to serious injury.
› The device should never come in contact with water or moisture.
› To prevent the risk of fire or electric shock make sure that liquids, such as dripping or
splashing water, rain or moisture, do not come in contact with the device.
› Operate this device in a moderate climate and never expose to extreme tempera-
tures, such as high humidity.

containers containing liquids, e.g. bucket, vase or plants should never be placed any-
where near or on this device. This can not only damage the device, but also become
a fire hazard.
› It is imperative to avoid contact with moisture, e.g. in the bathroom.
› Never touch the power plug with damp or wet hands. There is the risk of electric
shock!
› Make sure the device is properly ventilated during operation.
› Never operate it in constricted areas, such as for example in a bookcase or shelf. Make
sure the device is placed on a firm and stable surface. Never block ventilation openings
