the plug.
• Unplug the mains plug from the mains socket if you do not plan to use the product
for an extended period of time.

thunderstorms.
• Ensure that the mains cable is not squeezed, bent, damaged by sharp edges
or subjected to mechanical stress. Avoid excessive thermal stress on the mains
cable from extreme heat or cold. Do not modify the mains cable. Failure to adhere
to these instructions may lead to damage of the mains cable. A damaged mains
cable can cause a fatal electric shock.
