   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.

Safety information

› Always pull on the plug’s grips and never on the cable to remove from a wall outlet. 

› Unplug the device from the power outlet, if it is not in use for a longer period of time.

› For safety reasons, always unplug the device from the power outlet during thunder-
storms. 

› This device is not suitable for children under 3 years of age. 
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. 

›  Condensation can build up suddenly, when this device is brought from a colder into 
a warmer area (e.g. when transporting). Should this happen, allow the device to warm 
up to room temperature first before using. 

› Care should be taken that liquids do not come in contact with the interior; this is why 
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
