1.2 Product safety and dangers
The appliances described in this manual are technically sophisticated, manufactured
using high-quality materials and subject to many hours of testing in the factory. They
reflect the state of the art and comply with recognised technical safety regulations. How-
ever, there are still risks involved, even when the appliances are used as intended. These
are described below.
Warning! After removing covers, live parts may be exposed. Touch-
ing these can lead to an electrical shock. Disconnect the mains plug
before removing any covers. Work on the electrical system must only
be performed by qualifi ed electricians.
Warning! When loading the appliance with an unsuitable load, poi-
sonous or explosive vapours or gases may be produced. This could
cause the appliance to explode, and people could be severely injured
or poisoned. The appliance may only be loaded with materials/test
objects which do not release any toxic or explosive vapours when
heated (see also chapter Intended use on page 6).
