Technical safety
Before connecting the appliance to

the voltage and frequency correspond
to the rating on the data plate, other-
wise the appliance could be damaged.
Consult a competent person if in doubt.
The electrical safety of this ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national regulations. It is most import-
ant that this basic safety requirement is
tested by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system (e.g. elec-
tric shock).
Installation work and repairs may
only be carried out by suitably
qualified and competent persons to en-
sure safety.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous.
The appliance is only completely iso-
lated from the electricity supply when:
– it is switched off at the fused unit or
the fuse is withdrawn, or
– it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug removed (do not pull
on the cable, only on the plug), or
– the mains fuse is withdrawn; or
– the screw-out fuse is removed, (in
countries where this is applicable).
Ensure current is not restored to the ap-
pliance while maintenance or repair
work is being carried out.
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g.
danger of overheating).
