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 indoors. Do
not use in wet rooms or in the rain.
■
Do not operate or continue to oper-
ate the appliance, if it
–
exhibits visible damage, e.g. the
supply cord is defective, the control
panel is cracked, or the door func-
tion is impaired.
–
starts smoking or there is a smell of
burning.
–
makes unfamiliar noises.
In such cases, you should pull the
mains plug out of the socket or switch
off/unscrew the fuse, keep the door
closed and have the appliance re-
paired (see “Service” on page EN-35).
■
If the supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
■
Check the appliance regularly for
damage.
■
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.
Ensure that the voltage is correct
when connecting it. More detailed in-
formation about this can be found on
the type plate.
■
We recommend using a pulse-sensi-
tive fault current switch (residual cur-
rent operated circuit-breaker).
■
Keep the appliance, mains plug and
supply cord away from naked flames
and hot surfaces. The insulation of
the supply cord may melt.
■
Do not kink or pinch the supply cord
or lay it over sharp edges.
■
Never pull the mains plug out of the
socket by the supply cord; always hold
the mains plug itself.
■
Never touch the mains plug with wet
hands.
■
Never immerse the mains plug and
supply cord in water or any other liq-
uids.
■
In the event of a fault, as well as be-
fore cleaning or maintenance, pull
out the mains plug/switch off or un-
screw the fuse.
■
Do not put any objects in or through
the housing openings and also make
sure that children cannot insert any
objects through them.
■
A steam cleaner is not to be used for
for cleaning.
■
Only parts corresponding to the orig-
inal appliance specifications may be
used for repairs.
■
Investigations and repairs to the ap-
pliance may only be carried out by
authorised specialists, such as our
Service department.
■
Unauthorised repairs to the appli-
ance can cause property damage
