Stromschlags zu verringern, sollten Sie weder Deckel noch Rückwand des Geräts entfernen. Im Innern befinden sich keine Teile, die vom Anwender gewartet 

werden können. Überlassen Sie die Wartung qualifiziertem Fachpersonal.Der Blitz mit Pfeilspitze im gleichseitigen Dreieck soll den Anwender vor nichtisolierter 

“gefährlicher Spannung” im Geräteinnern warnen. Diese Spannung kann so hoch sein, dass die Gefahr eines Stromschlags besteht. Das Ausrufezeichen im gleich-

seitigen Dreieck soll den Anwender auf wichtige Bedienungs- und Wartungsanleitungen aufmerksam machen, die im mitgelieferten Informationsmaterial näher 

beschrieben werden. 

Wichtige Sicherheitsvorkehrungen

1.   Lesen Sie alle Anleitungen, bevor Sie das Gerät in Betrieb nehmen. 

2.   Bewahren Sie diese Anleitungen für den späteren Gebrauch gut auf.  

 

3.   Bitte treffen Sie alle beschriebenen Sicherheitsvorkehrungen.  

4.   Befolgen Sie die Anleitungen des Herstellers.   

5.  Benutzen Sie das Gerät nicht in der Nähe von Wasser oder Feuchtigkeit. 

6.   Verwenden Sie zur Reinigung des Geräts nur ein feuchtes Tuch.  

7.   Blockieren Sie keine Belüftungsöffnungen. Nehmen Sie den Einbau des Geräts nur entsprechend den Anweisungen des Herstellers vor.

erzeugen.  

9.    Setzen Sie die Sicherheitsfunktion des polarisierten oder geerdeten Steckers nicht außer Kraft. Ein polarisierter Stecker hat zwei flache, unterschiedlich breite 

Pole. Ein geerdeter Stecker hat zwei flache Pole und einen dritten Erdungsstift. Der breitere Pol oder der dritte Stift dient Ihrer Sicherheit. Wenn der vorhan-

dene Stecker nicht in Ihre Steckdose passt, lassen Sie die veraltete Steckdose von einem Elektriker ersetzen.  

10.   Schützen Sie das Netzkabel dahingehend, dass niemand darüber laufen und es nicht geknickt werden kann. Achten Sie hierbei besonders auf Netzstecker, 

Mehrfachsteckdosen und den Kabelanschluss am Gerät.  

11.   Ziehen Sie den Netzstecker des Geräts bei Gewittern oder längeren Betriebspausen aus der Steckdose.  

12.   Überlassen Sie die Wartung qualifiziertem Fachpersonal. Eine Wartung ist notwendig, wenn das Gerät auf irgendeine Weise, beispielsweise am Kabel oder 

Netzstecker beschädigt wurde, oder wenn Flüssigkeiten oder Objekte in das Gerät gelangt sind, es Regen oder Feuchtigkeit ausgesetzt war, nicht mehr wie 

gewohnt betrieben werden kann oder fallen gelassen wurde.
