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
connector cable is defective, the con-
trol panel is cracked or the door func-
tion is impaired.
■
it starts smoking or there is a smell of
burning.
■
it makes unfamiliar noises.
In these cases, you should pull the mains
plug out of the socket or switch off/un-
screw the fuse and have the appliance
repaired (see “Service” on page EN-40).
■
The appliance corresponds to protec-
tion class I and may only be connect-
ed to a plug with a protective conduc-
tor that has been properly installed.
Ensure that the voltage is correct
when connecting it. More detailed in-
formation about this can be found on
the nameplate.
■
If the mains plug is no longer acces-
sible after connecting it, an all-pole
disconnecting device complying with
overvoltage category III must be con-
nected into the house wiring with a
contact gap of at least 3 mm; consult
a qualifi ed professional if necessary
(see “Service” on page EN-40).
■
We recommend using a pulse-sensi-
tive residual-current device (RCD).
■
The appliance must only be connect-
ed to the mains after completion of
all installation and assembly work.
■
Do not put any objects in or through
the housing openings and also make
sure that children cannot insert any
objects through them.
■
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 can melt.
