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 in-
doors. Do not use in wet
rooms or in the rain.
■
Do not operate or continue
to operate the appliance if
–
it shows visible signs of
damage, e.g. the supply
cord is defective,
–
it makes unfamiliar noises,
–
it emits smoke.
In such cases, you should
pull the mains plug out of
the socket or switch off/
unscrew the fuse and have
the appliance repaired (see
chapter ‘Service’).
■
If this appliance’s supply
cord is damaged, to avoid
hazards it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, the
manufacturer’s service
agent or a qualified expert.
■
Check the appliance regu-
larly for damage.
■
We recommend using a
pulse-sensitive fault current
switch (residual current op-
erated circuit-breaker).
■
Keep the appliance, the
mains plug and the mains
cable away from open
flames and hot surfaces.
The insulation of the mains
cord could melt.
■
Do not kink or pinch the
mains cord or lay it over
sharp edges.
■
Never pull the mains plug
out of the socket by the
mains cable, always hold
the mains plug itself.
■
Never touch the mains plug
with wet hands.
■
Never immerse the mains
cord or plug in water or any
other liquids.
■
In the event of a fault, as
well as before cleaning or
maintenance, disconnect
the mains plug from the
socket and/or switch off or
unscrew the fuse.
