For your protection and safe operation of the unit, please read the following:

Avoid water and other liquids

To avoid risk of fire and electrical shock: do not expose this device to moisture. Use indoors 

and in dry locations only. Do not expose to dripping and/or splashing. Do not place objects 

filled with liquids -such as vases- on or near the device. Do not operate the unit if any liquid 

is spilled on or into the unit; return it to your dealer for servicing. 

Don't open the device

To avoid risk of electrical shock: do not open the device. There are no user serviceable 

parts inside. Repairs have to be performed by qualified personnel only.

Unplug before cleaning

Always disconnect the unit before cleaning. Only clean the unit with a dry cloth or duster. 

Do not use any cleaning solutions, sprays or water.

Connect to mains ground

For safety reasons and to protect connected equipment, this product MUST be connected 

to mains with a three conductor power cord which includes a working ground conductor. 

The power cord MUST be plugged into a grounded AC power outlet (3-pin). Do not use a 

3-to-2-pin adapter to bypass the grounding pin. Failing to plug this product into a 

grounded outlet through a ground conductor including mains cord may result in personal 

injury or damage to your equipment. Call a licensed electrician if you are unsure if your AC 

outlets are properly grounded.

Do not overload individual outputs

Do not connect loads which draw more current than the maximum rating for each 

individual outlet. Possible damages due to exceeding these maximum ratings will void 

warranty. The MAXIMUM CURRENT rating for each outlet may differ, please look at the 

Specifications

 further on in this manual for maximum loads.

Do not exceed maximum total load

The total current drawn from all outlets together may not exceed 16 Amps. At 230 Volts 

mains supply this is equivalent to 3680W.

Check your supply voltage

This device is designed for 220-240V~ @ 50/60 Hz mains supply. Connecting to a different 

voltage may damage the device and warranty will be void.

Avoid condensation

If the device is moved from a cold to a warmer area, allow the product to warm up to 

room temperature before connecting it to the mains supply. This is to avoid condensation 

inside the device.

Connect power cords safely

Power cords should be routed in such a way that they are not likely to be walked on or 

pinched by items. Do not route power cords near heat sources. To disconnect the power 

cord, pull it out by the plug (wall outlet side first). Do not pull the cable itself, doing so may 

result in damage which can lead to fire or electric shock.
