2.3
Re: Power supply
The appliance runs on electricity -- that means there is a general risk of
electric shock. So please especially observe the following:
Never touch the plug with wet hands.
Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids. Keep it away
from rain and moisture.
Always pull directly at the plug if you want to disconnect the appliance
from the mains. Never pull on the cable as this could damage it.
Take care that the power cord is not bent, pinched, rolled over or
touches heat sources. Also take care that it does not become a stumbling-
hazard.
Never carry the appliance by its power cord. It could get damaged.
Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that the voltage
stated on the type plate matches the voltage of your plug socket. Only use
sockets with a ground/safety contact.
If possible, avoid using extension cords. If you must use an extension
cord, use only safety-certified, water-protected single extension cords (no-
multi-socket distributors) designed for the power consumption of the
appliance.
Always check the power cord for possible damage before using the
appliance.
