it shows visible signs of damage,
–
for example, the connection cable
is defective;
starts smoking or there is a burning
–
smell;
it makes unusual sounds.

The appliance corresponds to protec-
■
tion class 1 and may only be connect-
ed to a properly installed protective
conductor. Ensure that the voltage is
correct when connecting it. You can
fi nd more detailed information about
this on the nameplate.
Connection to the mains supply may
■
only be made by an authorised elec-
trician approved by the local energy
supply company (see „Our service" on

from the power supply and disman-
tling the old appliance.
Since all poles of the appliance can-
■
not be disconnected from the mains
via an accessible disconnecting de-
vice, an all-pole disconnecting device
in accordance with overvoltage cat-
egory III must be connected within
the house installation with at least 3
mm contact clearance; this includes
fuses, miniature circuit breakers and
protective devices.
If the mains plug is no longer acces-
■
sible after installation, an all-poles
disconnecting 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.
Before connecting the device, switch
■
off the relevant electric circuit(s)
(switch off circuit breakers or unscrew
fuses).
Never open the housing.
