13. Handling
• Never connect the mains plug to a mains socket immediately after the device has been taken from a cold to a warm
environment. The resulting condensation may destroy the device. Allow the device to reach room temperature
before connecting it. Wait until the condensation has evaporated.
• Never pull the mains plug from the mains socket by the cable. Only pull it from the mains socket by the intended
grip areas.
• Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket in thunderstorms for reasons of safety.
• Never put any filter foils, masks or other materials over the light exit. This may cause heat damage and danger of
fire.
• The device may heat up strongly during operation. Never touch the casing during operation. Let the effect light cool
off for 20 minutes after operation before touching or cleaning the casing.
