Risks in handling household
electrical appliances
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
The appliance works with 230 V~/50 Hz
mains voltage. Touching live parts may
result in severe injury or death.
Only use the appliance indoors. Do
■
not use in wet rooms or in the rain.
Do not operate or continue to oper-
■
ate the appliance if it
shows visible signs of damage, e.g.
–
the power cord is defective;
starts smoking or there is a smell of
–
burning;
makes unusual sounds.
–
In such cases, remove the mains plug
from the socket and contact our ser-
vice department (see 'Service' on
page EN-38).
The appliance corresponds to protec-
■
tion class 1 and may only be plugged
into a socket with a properly installed
protective conductor. Connecting the
device to a socket strip or multi-plug
is not permitted and may result in fi re.
Only connect the appliance to an eas-
■
ily accessible socket so that you can
quickly disconnect it from the mains
in the event of a fault.
Lay out the mains cable in such a way
■
that it does not become a trip hazard.
Safety
Keep the appliance, mains plug and
■
mains cord away from naked fl ames
and hot surfaces.
Do not kink or pinch the mains cable
■
or lay it over sharp edges. This can re-
sult in a break in the cable.
If the mains cable of the appliance is
■
damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, through the customer
service department or by a qualifi ed
specialist.
Do not operate the appliance with an
■
external timer or a separate remote
control system.
If the mains plug is no longer acces-
■
sible after installation, an all-pole dis-
connecting device complying with
overvoltage category III must be
connected to the house wiring with a
contact gap of at least 3 mm; this in-
cludes fuses, circuit breakers and con-
tactors.
Do not put any objects in or through
■
the housing openings, and also en-
sure that children cannot insert any
objects into them.
Always take hold of the mains plug it-
■
self, not the mains cord.
Never touch the mains plug with wet
■
hands.
Never immerse the mains cable or
■
plug in water or any other liquids.
In the event of a fault, and before
■
cleaning and maintenance, pull the
mains plug out of the socket.
Modifi cations and repairs to the ap-
■
pliance may be carried out only by
authorised specialists, such as our
service department (see page EN-38).
