Re: Power supply
The appliance is operated with electrical power which
means there is always a risk of electric shock. There-
fore:
- Never touch the plug with wet hands. Do not operate
the appliance outside or in rooms with a high level of
humidity.
- Always pull directly on the plug if you want to discon-
nect the appliance from the mains. Never pull on the
cable as this could damage it. Never carry the appli-
ance by its cord.
- Take care that the power cord is not bent, pinched, or
rolled over, and does not touch heat sources or sharp
edges. Also take care that it does not become a stum-
bling hazard.
- If possible, do not use extension cords. If you must
use an extension cord, use only safety-certified, wa-
ter-protected single extension cords (no multi-socket
distributors) designed for the power consumption of
the appliance.
- Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids;
keep it away from rain and moisture.
- 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.
- Before you clean or maintain the appliance, switch off
the appliance and pull the mains plug from the socket.
