objects into the appliance. There is a life-threatening danger of electrocution.
•
Do not leave the appliance unattended while operating it.
•
Never place the appliance on an unstable or movable surface. Persons could be injured or the appliance damaged
by it falling down.
•
Live components can be exposed by opening covers or removing components (unless this can be done without
tools). Contact points can also be live. If the appliance has to be opened in order to calibrate, service, repair or
replace components or assemblies, all of its poles must be disconnected from all sources of voltage first. If the
appliance has to be kept open and under voltage during maintenance or repairs, this work may only be carried out
by a specialist who is familiar with the risks involved and the relevant regulations.
•
Never connect the appliance directly after transferring it from a cold to a warm room. The condensation water that

connecting it. Wait until the condensation water has evaporated. This can take some hours.
•
Do not place any naked flames such as those of burning candles on or next to the appliance.
•
Do not place the appliance on soft surfaces such as carpets or beds. Do not cover the air vents of the appliance. Do
not obstruct the air circulation with objects such as magazines, table cloths or curtains. This prevents the dissipation
of heat from the appliance and can result in overheating.
•
Only use the appliance in a moderate climate, not in tropical environments.
•
If you are not sure about the correct connection or if questions arise which are not answered by the operating
instructions, please do not hesitate to contact support or a specialist of your choice. Consult a specialist if you are
in doubt the operating principle or the safety of the product.
