Risks when handling electrical
household appliances
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
The appliance works with 230 V~/50 Hz
mains voltage. Touching live parts may
result in severe injury or death.
■
Only use the appliance indoors. Do
not use in wet rooms or in the rain.
■
Do not operate or continue to oper-
ate the appliance, if
–
it shows visible signs of damage,
e.g. the power cord is defective.
–
it starts smoking or there is a smell
of burning.
–
it makes unusual sounds.
In such cases, remove the mains plug
and contact our service department
(see „Service“ on page GB-26).
■
The appliance corresponds to protec-
tion class 1 and may only be connect-
ed to a plug with a protective conduc-
tor that has been installed properly.
The connection of a multiple socket
strip or a multi-socket is not permis-
sible and may result in a fi re hazard.
■
Only connect the appliance to an eas-
ily accessible socket so that you can
quickly disconnect it from the mains
in the event of a fault.
■
Lay the mains cord so that it does not
pose a tripping hazard.
■
Keep the appliance, the mains plug
and the mains cord away from open
fl ames and hot surfaces.
■
Do not kink or pinch the mains cord
or lay it over sharp edges. This can re-
sult in a break in the cable.
■
If the mains cord of the appliance
is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, the manufactur-
er’s customer service or by a qualifi ed
specialist.
■
Do not operate the appliance with an
external timer or a separate remote
control system.
■
Do not put any objects in or through
the housing openings. Also make sure
that children cannot insert any ob-
jects into them.

Always touch the mains plug, not the
mains cord.

Never touch the mains plug with wet
hands.
■
Never immerse the mains cord or plug
in water or any other liquids.

In the event of an error or before
cleaning and maintenance, remove

thorised specialists, such as our ser-
vice department (see page GB-26).
