This light string is not intended for illumination purposes,
for commercial or industrial applications or for use
outdoors.
Important safety
instructions
To avoid potentially fatal electric shocks:
• Ensure that a bulb is in every bulb holder when
the plug is connected to a wall socket. Touching
exposed contacts in the bulb holder can be po-
tentially fatal.
• Ensure that neither the light string, the power cable
nor the plug come into contact with water or other
liquids.
• Use the appliance in dry rooms only, not outdoors.
• When in use, ensure that the power cable between
the lamps and to the power plug does not become
trapped or liable to being damaged. Should the
power cables or the plug become damaged the
light string may no longer be used, as it is no longer
safe.
• Immediately remove the plug from the socket if
the light string fails to function correctly or is re-
cognisably damaged, especially if the glass of
a bulb is broken. First replace the bulb. Arrange
for the appliance to be checked by Customer
Services if other damage is recognisable.
• After use or during extended absences, ALWAYS
remove the plug from the power socket. For as
long as the plug is inserted in the wall socket the
appliance itself is under electrical power.
• Ensure that the plug is at all times easily accessi-
ble so that it may be swiftly removed in the event
of danger.
To avoid the risks of fire:
• Do not connect the light string to a wall socket if
it is still in its packaging. This would lead to a bu-
ild-up of heat.
• Use only spare bulbs that correspond to the de-
tails given in the technical data. Using more po-
werful bulbs, or those with different wattages,
could lead to the other bulbs becoming too hot
or to an overload of the power cable.
• Replace failed bulbs as soon as possible! Due to
the automatic shunting of failed bulbs the electri-
cal energy distributes itself amongst the remai-
ning bulbs, causing them to glow more brightly.
On the one side this also shortens their service
life, on the other, the bulbs will become hotter.
• DO NOT place the light string under inflamma-
ble objects, especially not under straw stars, pa-
per, curtains or drapes.
To avoid the risk of accidents and per-
sonal injuries:
• Lead the light string and its power cables such
that no one can trip or stumble over them.
• Do not permit children or infirm people to come
into close contact with electrical appliances wi-
thout supervision, they are not always able to
correctly assess the potential dangers of them.
• Keep children under 3 years of age away from
the light string. They could swallow small pieces
from it!
