electrical appliances
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
Touching live parts may result in severe
injury or death.
■
Connect the appliance only if the
socket voltage matches the require-
ments indicated on the type plate.
■
Do not connect the appliance to a
multi-socket extension cable or a
multi-socket plug.
■
Do not operate the appliance with an
external timer or a separate remote
control system.
■
Connect the appliance only to a pro-
perly installed and earthed electric
socket.
■
Only use the appliance indoors. Do
not use in wet rooms or in the rain.
■
Do not operate or continue to opera-
te the appliance, if it
–
shows visible signs of damage, e.g.
the supply cord is defective.
–
starts smoking or there is a smell of
burning.
–
makes unfamiliar noises.
In this case, pull the mains plug out
of the socket and contact our ser-
vice department (see "Service" on

■
This appliance can only be comple-
tely disconnected from the mains by
pulling out the mains plug. The appli-
ance must therefore be connected to
an easily accessible socket so that it
can be quickly disconnected from the
power supply in the event of fault.
■
Keep the appliance, mains plug and
mains cord away from naked fl ames
and hot surfaces.
■
Do not kink or pinch the mains cord
or lay it over sharp edges.
■
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.
■
Always take hold of the mains plug
itself, not the mains cord. Never touch
the mains plug with wet hands.
■
Switch off the appliance and unplug
it from the mains when not in use, in
the event of a fault, and before clea-
ning or maintenance.
■
Inspections and repairs to the appli-
ance may only be carried out by au-
thorised specialists. Independent re-
pairs made to the appliance may
cause damage to property and perso-
nal injury and void liability and war-
ranty claims.
■
Never try to repair the appliance
yourself.
■
Never open the housing.
■
Only parts corresponding to the ori-
ginal appliance specifi cations may be
used for repairs.
Water that has seeped inside may cau-
se a short circuit or electrocution.
■
Note that the appliance may not be
immersed in water.
■
Switch off the appliance and pull the
mains plug out of the socket before
cleaning.
■
Do not set up the appliance near taps
or sinks.
■
Do not put the appliance or individu-
al parts of the appliance in a dishwas-
her.
