Important safeguards for electrical appliances
The appliance is heated electrically. Place the appliance near a suitable wall power socket to
connect the appliance directly to a protected mains power supply with protective conductor
(earth/ground) connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply
corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (230 V, 50 Hz, AC, rated for at least
16 A). The power outlet socket must be installed separately from other power outlet sockets to
avoid interference with other appliances.
The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.) with a maximum rated
residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly recommen-
ded. If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information.
