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
–
shows visible signs of damage, e.g.
the supply cord is defective,
–

burning,
–
makes unfamiliar noises.
In such cases, remove the mains plug

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.
When connecting, make sure that it
has the right voltage. More detailed
information about this can be found
on the nameplate.
■
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 breakdown.
■
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-27).
■
When installing the appliance, en-
sure that the mains cable does not
become pinched or damaged. Do
not kink the supply cord or lay it over
sharp edges.
■
Keep the supply cord away from na-
ked fl ames 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 mains cable of the appliance is
damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, the customer service
department or a similarly qualifi ed
person in order to prevent hazards.
■
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 a
defective or suspected defective ap-
pliance yourself.
■
Inspections and repairs to the appli-
ance may only be carried out by au-
thorised specialists. If in doubt, con-
tact our service department (see
page EN-27).
■
This appliance contains electrical and
mechanical parts which are essential
for protection against potential sourc-
es of danger. Only parts correspond-
ing to the original appliance specifi -
cations may be used for repairs.
■
In the event of a fault, as well as before
extensive cleaning, pull out the mains
