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
–
shows visible signs of damage, e.g.
the power cord is defective,

makes unfamiliar noises.
In such cases, remove the mains plug

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.

make sure that the voltage is correct.
You can fi nd more detailed informa-
tion about this on the nameplate.
■
The appliance can only be complete-

overvoltage category III must be con-
nected into the house wiring with a
contact gap of at least 3 mm; consult
a qualifi ed professional if necessary
(see “Service” on page EN-28).
