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;

In such cases, switch off the appli-
ance, disconnect it from the mains

ers/unscrew the fuses) and contact
our Service.
■
Connection to the mains supply may
only be made by an authorised elec-
trician approved by the local ener-
gy supply company (see the chap-
ter “Service”). Unauthorised persons
may not connect the appliance to
the mains supply. You can endanger
your life and that of subsequent us-

from the power supply and disman-
tling the old appliance.

Since all poles of the appliance can-
not be disconnected from the mains
via an accessible disconnecting de-
vice, an all-pole disconnecting device
in accordance with overvoltage cat-
egory III must be connected within
the house installation with at least
3 mm contact clearance.
■
Before accessing the terminals,
switch off all supply circuits and se-
cure them against being switched on
again (switch off the circuit breakers/
unscrew the fuses).
