Re: Power supply
The appliance runs on electricity - that means there is a
general risk of electric shock. Therefore:
- Never touch the plug with wet hands. Do not operate
the appliance outside or in rooms with a high level of
humidity.
- Always pull directly at the plug if you want to discon-
nect the appliance from the mains. Never pull on the
cable as this could damage it. Never carry the appli-
ance by its cord.
- Take care that the power cord is not bent, pinched,
rolled over or gets in contact with heat sources or
sharp edges. Also take care that it does not become
a stumbling-hazard.
- If possible, avoid using extension cords. If you must
use an extension cord, use only safety-certified, wa-
ter-protected single extension cords (no-multi-socket
distributors) designed for the power consumption of
the appliance.
- Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids;
keep it away from rain and moisture.
- Before connecting to the power supply, make sure
that the voltage stated on the type plate matches the
voltage of your plug socket. Only use sockets with a
ground/safety contact.
