Electrical safety
•
Voltage: Plug the appliance in a 220-240V, 50Hz, properly earthed power outlet, which must be in
good working order. Make sure your outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to the voltage stated
on the appliance rating label.
•
Power connection: Do not use an adaptor; do not use an extension cord. Plug the power plug
directly into a separate power point that cannot easily be turned off accidentally, and that is easily
accessible so you can switch it off when required.
•
Power cord
: Do not kink or damage the power supply cord. Do not leave it exposed or dangling.
Secure it behind the appliance so no one steps on or places anything on the power supply cord or against
it. A squashed or damaged power plug may overheat and cause a fire.
•
Damaged cord: Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at
either end. Any damage to the cord may cause a short circuit, fire and/or electric shock. If the power cord
is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent. Contact the service department

•
Disconnection: Never unplug the unit by pulling the cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull
straight out from the power point.
•
Electrical work: If the installation of this appliance requires any electrical work, make sure it is
carried out by a qualified electrician.
