electrical appliances
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
The appliance works with 230 V~/50 Hz
mains voltage. 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,
e.g. the power cord is defective.
–
it starts smoking or there is a smell
of burning.
–
it makes unusual sounds.
■
In such events, remove the mains
plug from the socket and contact our
service department (see chapter „Ser-
vice“ on page EN-33).
■
The appliance corresponds to protec-
tion class 1 and may only be plugged
into a socket with a properly installed
protective conductor. Connecting the
device to a socket strip or multi-plug
is not permitted and may result in fi re.
■
Only connect the appliance to an eas-
ily accessible socket so that you can
quickly disconnect it from the mains

Lay out the mains cable in such a way
that it does not become a trip hazard.
■
Keep the appliance, mains plug and
mains cable away from naked fl ames

Do not kink or pinch the mains cable

service department or by a qualifi ed
specialist.
■
Do not operate the appliance with an
external timer or a separate remote
control system.
■
If the mains plug is no longer acces-
sible after installation, an all-pole dis-
connecting device complying with
overvoltage category III must be
connected to the house wiring with a
contact gap of at least 3 mm; this in-
cludes fuses, circuit breakers and con-
tactors.
■
Do not put any objects in or through
the housing openings, and also en-
sure that children cannot insert any
objects into them.
■
Always take hold of the mains plug it-
