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 use the
appliance, if it
–
it shows visible signs of damage –
for example, the mains cable is de-
fective,
–
it starts smoking or there is a smell
of burning,
–
it makes unfamiliar noises.
In such cases, remove the mains plug
from the socket or unscrew/isolate
the fuse and contact our service de-
partment (see “Service department”
on page EN-32).
■
The appliance corresponds to pro-
tection class I and may only be con-
nected to a socket with a protective
conductor that has been installed
properly. When connecting the ap-
pliance, make sure that the voltage
is correct. More detailed information
about this can be found on the name-
plate.
■
To disconnect this appliance from the
power supply, pull the mains plug out
of the socket. The appliance must,
therefore, be connected to an easi-
ly accessible socket so that it can be
quickly disconnected from the power
supply in the event of a breakdown.
■
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 cate-
gory III must be connected within the
house installation with at least 3 mm
contact clearance; consult a qualified
professional if necessary (see “Service
department” on page EN-32).
■
When positioning the appliance, en-
sure the supply cord is not trapped
or damaged. Do not kink the supply
cord or lay it over sharp edges.
■
Do not put portable multi sockets or
mains adapters at the rear of the ap-
pliance.
■
Keep the supply cord away from na-
ked flames and hot surfaces.
■
Always pull on the mains plug and
not the mains cable.
■
Never touch the mains plug with wet
hands.
■
Never immerse the supply cord or
plug in water or any other liquids.
■
If the supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
■
Independent or improper repairs
made to the appliance may cause
damage to property and personal in-
jury; any liability and warranty claims
will be forfeited. Never try to repair
the appliance yourself.
