•
Electrical appliances must be kept out of the reach of children. Be
particularly careful if children are present. Children are not aware of the
hazards involved in handing electrical appliances improperly. Children
could attempt to poke objects into the appliance. There is a life-threatening
danger of electrocution.
•
Do not leave the appliance unattended while operating it.
•
Never place the appliance on an unstable or movable surface. Persons
could be injured or the appliance damaged by it falling down.
•
When using a rack, make sure it is in a stable position and is transported
securely. Installation on uneven, slanted surfaces or stopping the rack
abruptly during transport can result in the rack overturning or appliances
falling from or out of the rack and injuring people.
•
Live components can be exposed by opening covers or removing
components (unless this can be done without tools). Contact points can
also be live. If the appliance has to be opened in order to calibrate, service,
repair or replace components or assemblies, all of its poles must be
disconnected from all sources of voltage first. If the appliance has to be
kept open and under voltage during maintenance or repairs, this work may
only be carried out by a specialist who is familiar with the risks involved
and the relevant regulations.
•
Never connect the appliance directly after transferring it from a cold to a
warm room. The condensation water that forms could destroy the
appliance or result in an electric shock. Allow the device to reach room
temperature before connecting it. Wait until the condensation water has
evaporated. This can take some hours.
•
Do not place any naked flames such as those of burning candles on or next
to the appliance.
•
Do not place the appliance on soft surfaces such as carpets or beds. Do
not cover the air vents of the appliance. Do not obstruct the air circulation
with objects such as magazines, table cloths or curtains. This prevents the
dissipation of heat from the appliance and can result in overheating.
•
Only use the appliance in a moderate climate, not in tropical environments.
