fl
ammable gases, vapours or solvents. There is a danger of

re and explosion!
c) Handling and Use
• Never plug in or unplug the power cable with damp or wet hands. There is a risk of
a life-threatening electric shock!
• When it is used for the
fi
rst time, the hot parts of the frame may cause an irritating

dry/warm textiles.
• Always unplug the mains plug using the gripping surface intended for this purpose.
