Risks in handling household
electrical appliances
WARNING!
Risk of electric shock!
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
–
exhibits visible damage, e.g. the
supply cord is defective, the control
panel is cracked, or the door func-
tion is impaired.
–
starts smoking or there is a smell of
burning.
–
makes unfamiliar noises.
In such cases, you should pull the
mains plug out of the socket or switch
off/unscrew the fuse, keep the appli-
ance door closed and have the appli-
ance repaired (see chapter “Service”).
■
If the supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualifi ed
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
■
Check the appliance regularly for
damage.
■
The appliance corresponds to pro-
tection class I and may only be con-
nected to a socket with a protective
conductor that has been properly
installed. Ensure that the voltage is
correct when connecting it. More de-
tailed information about this can be
found on the nameplate.
■
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; consult a
qualifi ed professional if necessary
(see the chapter on “Service”).
■
We recommend using a pulse-sensi-
tive fault current switch (residual cur-
rent operated circuit-breaker).
■
The appliance must only be connect-
ed to the mains after completion of
all installation and assembly work.
■
Keep the appliance, the mains plug
and the mains cord away from open
fl ames and hot surfaces. The insula-
tion of the mains cord could melt.
■
Do not kink or pinch the mains cord
or lay it over sharp edges.
■
Never pull the mains plug out of the
socket by the mains cord; always hold
the mains plug itself.
