the openings of the product, which can cause a fatal electric shock. There is also a significant risk of
injury and burns due to hot surfaces!
• Never touch or operate the product if your hands are moist or wet, as this may cause a fatal electric
shock!
• Completely unwind the mains cable before use. A mains cable that is not completely unwound can lead
to overheating and constitutes a fire hazard!
• Do not insert any objects into the openings on the product, as this may cause an electric shock or
damage the product.
• Before connecting the product to the mains, make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the
specifications on the nameplate.
• The heater is constructed according to protection class I. Only use a grounded mains socket (230 V/AC,
50 Hz) connected to the public grid to power the product.
•
Never pour any liquids over electrical devices or put objects filled with liquid right next to the device. If
liquid or an object enters the interior of the device nevertheless, first power down the respective socket
(e.g. switch off circuit breaker) and then pull the mains plug from the mains socket. Do not operate the
product anymore afterwards, but take it to a specialist workshop.
• The mains outlet must be located near to the device and be easily accessible.
• Never pull the mains plug from the socket by pulling at the cable. Always pull it from the mains socket
using the intended grips.
• Unplug the mains plug from the mains socket if you do not use the device for an extended period of time.
• Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket in thunderstorms for reasons of safety.
• 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 then carefully pull the mains plug from the mains socket. Never use
the product if the mains cable is damaged.
• A damaged mains cable may only be replaced by the manufacturer, a workshop commissioned by the
manufacturer or a similarly qualified person, so as to prevent any danger.
• Never plug in or unplug the mains plug when your hands are wet.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the cable is not pinched, kinked or damaged by sharp
edges.
