SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
• Do not modify the power plug provided with the appliance. If it does
not fit the power outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
• This appliance must be earthed / grounded via the mains supply lead.
In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the

current.

earthing / grounding conductor (earthing pin) and a grounding
power plug. The power plug must be plugged into an appropriate

result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
service personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
