m Warning!
When using machines, safety measures must be
complied with in order to prevent injury and damage.
Therefore, carefully read this operating manual/these
safety notices. Safely store them so the information
is available to you at any time. If you are handing
the machine over to others, please also pass on this
operating manual/these safety instructions. We are
not liable for accidents or damage caused by non-
compliance with this manual and these safety notices.
Changes to the machine completely invalidate the
manufacturer's liability for damages resulting from this.
Even when you use the machine for its intended pur-
pose, certain risks remain that cannot be completely
avoided. Based on the construction and setup of the
machine, the following risks may occur:
• Contact with hot water (risk of scalding)
• There is a danger to life when touching live machine
parts. Disconnect the machine from the mains power
for all assembly, disassembly and repair work.
• Careless treatment of personal protective equipment
during operation of the machine, maintenance and
repair work as well as during cleaning and disinfec-
tion can cause severe external and internal injuries.
Always wear your stipulated personal protective
equipment.
• Unqualified staff may pose a risk of incorrect fault
clearance or faulty maintenance and repair work.
Fault clearance and maintenance work must exclu-
sively be carried out by specialists.
• Despite all safety measures, non-obvious risks may
remain.
• These remaining risks can be minimised if you ob-
serve the safety instructions at the beginning of the
individual chapters as well as the operating manual
in general.
m Please note that our machines have not been con-
structed for commercial, technical or industrial use.
We do not undertake any guarantee if the machine is
used in commercial, technical or industrial settings or
for tasks of this kind.
