where they are not likely to be walked on or
trapped by items placed on them.

Do not use near water, or place water-filled
containers on the M6SRDAC, for example, a 

ower

vase or potted plants. If water does spill inside,
immediately pull out the mains plug from the wall
socket and inform the dealer, who should then
