that the appliance is disconnected from the
power supply.
• Make sure that the parameters on the rating
plate are compatible with the electrical ratings
of the mains power supply.

cables.
• Make sure not to cause damage to the mains
plug (if applicable) or to the mains cable.
Contact our Authorised Service Centre or an
electrician to change a damaged mains cable.
