The warranty/guarantee will expire if damage is incurred resulting from non-compliance with
these operating instructions. We do not assume liability for any consequential damage.
Nor do we assume any liability for damage to property or personal injury caused by impro-
per use or failure to observe the safety instructions. In such cases the warranty/guarantee is

Dear Customer: The following safety information is intended not only for the protection of the
device but also for the protection of your health. Please read the following items carefully:
• To ensure that the device is set up correctly, always read these operating instructions inclu-
ding the safety instructions thoroughly and attentively before use.
• Check the device for damage before using it. If the device is damaged, do not operate it and
consult an expert or our service team.
• For safety reasons, any unauthorized conversions and/or modifications to the product are not
permitted.
• This device is a safety class 1 product. The voltage source must be a proper mains socket
(230 V/50 Hz) of the public mains with a protective ground contact.
• Never plug in or unplug the mains plug when your hands are wet.
• Make sure that the mains cable is not squeezed, bent, damaged by sharp edges or put under
mechanical stress. Avoid excessive thermal stress on the mains cable from extreme heat or
cold. Do not modify the mains cable. Otherwise the mains cable may be damaged. A damaged
mains cable can cause a deadly electric shock.
• Do not touch the mains cable if it is damaged. First, power down the respective mains socket
(e.g. via the respective circuit breaker and FI switch) and then carefully pull the mains plug
from the mains socket. Do not operate the product anymore afterwards, but take it to a specia-
list workshop.
• Any devices not in use must be powered down. Pull the mains plug for this.
• Devices that are operated with mains voltage have no place in the hands of children. There-
fore, be particularly careful when operating the device in the presence of children, in particular
keep them from trying to push objects into a device through the housing opening. There is the
risk of a potentially fatal electric shock.
• Never place containers containing liquids, e.g. glasses, buckets, vases or plants, on the pro-
duct or in its vicinity. Liquids may get into the housing and impair electrical safety. This also
poses great danger of fire or potentially fatal electric shock! If this is the case, first power
down the respective mains socket (e.g. switch off circuit breaker and FI switch) and then pull
the mains cable from the socket. Disconnect all cables from the device. Do not operate the
product anymore afterwards, but take it to a specialist workshop.
• Do not expose the device to any high temperatures, dripping or splashing water, strong vibra-
tions or heavy mechanical stress.
• Do not place any open sources of fire, such as burning candles, on or directly next to the de-
vice.
• Never operate the device unattended.
