reasons of safety and authorisation regulations (CE). Do not open/disassemble!
Contains no customer-serviceable parts.
Maintenance, setup or repair works must only be carried out by a specialist/speci-
alist workshop who is familiar with the related hazard and applicable regulations.
• The product is designed in protection class I; it must only be connected to, and

Alternatively, an all-pole separator for disconnecting from the mains voltage (e.g.
earth leakage circuit breaker) must be used.
• The product is not a toy and must be kept out of the reach of children. Be specially
careful if children are around. Children cannot see the danger arising from incorrect
use of electrical devices. Children might try to push objects through the socket ope-
nings of the product, for example. There is a risk of a life-threatening electric shock!
Furthermore there is a high risk of injuries due to hot surfaces!

Never install the product in direct vicinity of a bath, shower, bathroom or similar.
Lethal hazard due to electric shock!
• The product is only suitable for installation at a vertical, smooth, sufficiently big
surface (wall). The product must only be installed and used in a certain position
(see chapter “Installation”)
• Maintain a sufficient distance from easily flammable materials and items (e.g.
curtains), see chapter “Installation”.

flammable gases, vapours or solvents. There is a danger of fire and explosion!
c) Use and operation
• Never plug in or unplug the plug-in power unit with damp or wet hands. There is a
risk of a life-threatening electric shock!
• At initial start-up (or if the product was stored for a long period of time), heated
housing elements might cause unpleasant odours for some time. If you experience
this, ventilate the room where the freeze protection is set up.
• Only pull the mains plug out of the socket by gripping the intended gripping sur-
faces; never pull the mains plug by grasping and pulling the cable!
• Unwind the mains cable completely during operation. If the cable is not unwound
completely, it can cause overheating; danger of fire!

connecting cable may only be replaced by a specialist. There is a risk of a life-
threatening electric shock!
• Always pull the mains plug out of the mains socket before cleaning the product, or
when the product is not to be used for a while.

• The product becomes very hot after only a short operation duration; risk of burning!
• Only use the appliance in a moderate climate, never in a tropical climate.
• Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a cold room into
a warm one. Condensation water that forms might destroy the device. Moreover,
there is danger of electric shock. Allow the appliance to reach room temperature
before switching it on. Wait until the condensation has evaporated. This might take
several hours. Only after this should it be plugged in to the mains supply and put
