WARNING
Risks in handling household
electrical appliances
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,
–
for example, the connection cable
is defective,
it starts smoking or there is a smell
–
of burning,
it makes unfamiliar noises.
–
In such cases, remove the mains
plug or unscrew/isolate the fuse and
contact our service department (see
page GB-30).
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, make sure that it
has the right voltage. You can fi nd
more detailed information about this
on the nameplate.
Do not connect to a timer or a sepa-
■
rate remote-controlled system for dis-

The appliance must only be com-

pletely disconnected from the power
supply by pulling out the mains plug.
The appliance must therefore be con-
nected to an easily accessible socket
so that it can be quickly disconnected
from the power supply in the event of
breakdown.
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 kink or pinch the mains cable
■
or lay it over sharp edges. This may
cause the cable to break and/or cause
damage to the insulation.
When positioning the appliance, en-
■
sure the supply cord is not trapped or
damaged.
Do not place portable multi-outlet
■
power strips or power supply units on
the rear side of the appliance.
Do not locate multiple portable sock-
■
et-outlets or portable power supplies
at the rear of the appliance.
Keep the appliance, mains plug and
■
mains cable away from naked fl ames
and hot surfaces.
Always hold the mains plug itself, not
■
the mains cable.
Never touch the mains plug with wet
■
hands.
Never immerse the mains cable or
■
plug in water or any other liquids.
