WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
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 unfamiliar noises.
–
In such cases, remove the mains plug
from the socket and contact our Ser-
vice department (see page EN-29).
The appliance corresponds to protec-
■
tion class I and may only be connect-
ed to a plug with a protective conduc-
tor that has been properly installed.
When connecting the appliance,
make sure that the voltage is correct.
You can fi nd more detailed informa-
tion about this on the nameplate.
The appliance must only be com-
■
pletely disconnected from the pow-
er supply by pulling out the mains
plug. The appliance must, therefore,
be connected to an easily accessible
socket so that it can be quickly dis-

the event of a breakdown.
If the mains plug is no longer acces-
■
sible after connecting it, an all-pole
disconnecting device complying with
overvoltage category III must be con-
nected into the house wiring with a
contact gap of at least 3 mm; consult
a qualifi ed professional if necessary
(see "Service" on page EN-29).
Do not kink or pinch the mains cord
■
or lay it over sharp edges. This can re-

damaged.
Do not locate multiple portable sock-
■
et outlets or portable power supplies
at the rear of the appliance.
Keep the mains plug and the mains

Never touch the mains plug with wet
■
hands.

cord or mains plug in water or any
other liquids. Never expose electrical
equipment to water.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must

be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualifi ed
persons in order to avoid a hazard.

■
ance may only be carried out by au-
thorised specialists (see "Service" on
