NOTICE

Damage to the backing pump due to cold ambient temperature

If the ambient temperature is below 10 °C, the device will show a warning on the

display after switching on. It is possible to start up the device anyway by confirming

this message. This may damage the backing pump.

► Do not operate the device at an ambient temperature below 10 °C.

► In order to switch on the device, press the power switch.

When delivered, the device shows the window "Standby" after run-up.
