7. General safety instructions

Read the operating instructions carefully and especially observe the safety information. If you do
not follow the safety instructions and information on proper handling in this manual, we assume
no liability for any resulting personal injury or damage to property. Such cases will invalidate the
warranty/guarantee.
a) General information
• The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. This may become dangerous playing material
for children.
• Protect the appliance from extreme temperatures, strong jolts, flammable gases, steam and solvents.
• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height can damage the
product.
• The product is designed according to protection class I. As a voltage source, only a proper mains socket
(operating voltage 230 V/AC, 50 Hz) of the public mains system may be used.
• Consult an expert when in doubt about the operation, safety or connection of the appliance.
• Maintenance, modifications and repairs must only be completed by a technician or an authorised repair
centre.
• If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions, contact our technical
support service or other technical personnel.

b) Installation site, connection

• Install and use the product where it is out of the reach of children.
• At the site of installation, the ambient temperature must not be around or below freezing point (<0 °C).
This causes the water in the product to freeze; the higher volume of ice destroys the product. Store the
product in a dry place above freezing point during winter.
• If you use an extension cable or if it is necessary to lay cables to the product, make sure that the cable
cross section is not smaller than that of the product (see label on the power cord).
Use only extension cables with protected contacts designed for outdoor applications.
• Protect the power cord from heat, oil/gasoline and sharp edges; do not step on the power cord, do not
drive over it (e.g. with a wheelbarrow, bicycle, car).
• Never bend the power cord and do not place objects on it.
• Ensure that the mains socket is located in an area protected against flooding; otherwise there is a danger
of an electric shock!
