b) Operating location
• The product may only be used in dry interiors; it must not get damp or wet! Never
set up the product in the direct vicinity of a bathroom, shower, bathtub or similar.
There is a risk of a life-threatening electric shock!
• The product must not be exposed to extremes of temperature, direct sunlight or
strong vibrations.
• Completely unwind the mains cable during use. The power cable must not be
pinched or damaged by contact with sharp edges. Do not place any objects on the
cable, and do not allow it to become kinked. Install the cable where no one can
stumble over it and the plug is easily accessible. Do not install the mains cable
under carpets or the like.
• Do not operate the device in environments where there are high levels of dust,
flammable gases, vapours or solvents. There is a danger of fire and explosion!
c) Handling and use
• Never plug in, unplug or operate the product when your hands are damp or wet.
There is a risk of a life-threatening electric shock!
• Never connect the product to the power supply immediately after it has been trans-
ferred from a cold room into a warm one (e.g., during transport). The condensation
that develops in such cases could damage the device or cause an electric shock!
Allow the product to reach room temperature. Wait until the condensation has
evaporated. This might take several hours. Only after this should the product be
plugged into the power supply and put into use.
• Always pull a mains plug on the gripping surface intended for this purpose. Never
unplug the mains plug from a mains socket by pulling the cable!
• Do not overload the outlet strip. Observe the maximal permissible total power
consumption of all electrical loads connected as per chapter „Technical data“.
• Do not connect in series! This can lead to an overloading of the power strip! There
is a risk of fire!
• Plug the earthed mains plug of the power strip directly, e.g., into a wall socket. Do
not connect other power strips to this power strip.
• Do not operate while covered! At higher connected loads, the power strip and the
connecting cable may become warm, which can lead to overheating and poten-
tially a fire if covered!
• Volt-free only if the plug is unplugged!
• Do not use the product when it is damaged (e.g., housing or power cable). There
is a risk of a life-threatening electric shock!
In this case, dispose of the product in an environmentally correct manner.
• Safe operation can no longer be assumed if:
- the product shows visible signs of damage
- the product does not work at all or works poorly (leaking smoke or a smell of
burning, audible cracking noises, discolouration to the product or the adjacent
surfaces)
- the product was stored under unfavourable conditions
- it was exposed to heavy loads during transport
• Use the product only in a temperate climate, never in a tropical climate.
• Always pull the mains plug out of the mains socket before cleaning the outlet strip
or when the device will not be in use for a long time.
• Never pour any liquids above or next to the product. You run the risk of causing a
fire or a fatal electric shock.
However, if any liquid has entered the device, immediately disconnect the pow-
er from the socket where the power strip is plugged in (turn off the fuse/circuit
breaker/residual current operated circuit breaker of the associated circuits). Only
then can you unplug the mains plug of the outlet strip from the mains socket and
contact a specialist. Do not use the product any longer.
