■
If the mains plug is no longer acces-
sible after installation, an all-pole dis-
connecting device complying with
overvoltage category III must be
connected to the house wiring with a
contact gap of at least 3 mm; this in-
cludes fuses, circuit breakers and con-
tactors.
■
Do not kink or pinch the mains cord
or lay it over sharp edges. This can re-
sult in a break in the cable.
■
Keep the appliance, the mains plug
and the mains cord away from open
fl ames and hot surfaces.
■
Always touch the mains plug, not the
mains cord.
■
Never touch the mains plug with wet
hands.
■
Never immerse the mains cord or plug
in water or any other liquids.
■
If the mains cord of the appliance is
damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, through customer ser-
vice or by a qualifi ed specialist.
■
Inspections and repairs to the appli-
ance may only be carried out by au-
thorised specialists (siehe „Service“
on page GB-28).
■
Independent or improper repairs
made to the appliance may cause
damage to property and personal in-
jury; any liability and warranty claims
will be forfeited. Never attempt to re-
pair the faulty – or supposedly faulty
– appliance yourself.
■
Only parts corresponding to the orig-
inal appliance specifi cations may be
used for repairs. This appliance con-
tains electrical and mechanical parts
which are essential for protection
against potential sources of danger.
■
In the event of a fault, as well as be-
fore extensive cleaning, pull out the
mains plug or isolate/unscrew the
fuse.
■
Do not put any objects in or through
the housing openings, and also make
sure that children cannot insert any

Risks to children
Risk of suffocation!
Children can become entangled in the
packaging fi lm or swallow small parts
and suffocate.

Do not allow children to play with the
packaging fi lm.

Risks when dealing with chemical
substances
Danger of explosion!
Improper handling of chemical sub-
stances can lead to explosions.
■
Do not store explosive substances or
spray cans with fl ammable propel-
lants inside the appliance, as they
may cause ignitable gas-air mixtures
to explode.
■
Never use defrosting sprays to de-
frost. They can generate explosive
gases.
