Risks in handling household
electrical appliances
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
Touching live parts may result in severe
injury or death.
■
Only use the appliance indoors. Do
not use in wet rooms or in the rain.
■
Do not operate or continue to oper-
ate the appliance if it
–
exhibits visible damage, e.g. the
connector cable is defective, the
control panel is cracked or the door
function is impaired.
–
starts smoking or there is a smell of
burning.
–
makes unfamiliar noises.
In such cases, you should pull the
mains plug out of the socket or switch
off/unscrew the fuse, keep the door
closed and have the appliance re-
paired (see “Service” on page EN-39).
■
If the supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualifi ed
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
■
Check the appliance regularly for
damage.
■
The appliance corresponds to protec-
tion class I and may only be connect-
ed to a plug with a protective conduc-
tor that has been properly installed.
Ensure that the voltage is correct
when connecting it. More detailed in-
formation about this can be found on
the nameplate.
■
Since all poles of the appliance can-
not be disconnected from the mains
via an accessible disconnecting de-
vice, an all-pole disconnecting device
in accordance with overvoltage cate-
gory III must be connected within the
hous installation with at least 3 mm
contact clearance; consult a qualifi ed
professional if necessary (see “Ser-
vice” on page EN-39).
■
We recommend using a pulse-sensi-
tive fault current switch (residual cur-
rent operated circuit-breaker).
■
The appliance must only be connect-
ed to the mains after completion of
all installation and assembly work.
■
Keep the appliance, the mains plug
and the mains cord away from open
fl ames and hot surfaces. The insula-
tion of the mains cord could melt.
■
Do not kink or pinch the mains cord
or lay it over sharp edges.
