■ Do not operate or continue to oper-
ate the appliance if
– it shows visible signs of damage,
for example, the connection cable
is defective;
– starts smoking or there is a burning
smell;
– it makes unusual sounds.
In such cases, remove the mains plug
and contact our Service department
(see page EN-34).
■ The appliance corresponds to protec-
tion class 1 and may only be connect-
ed to a properly installed protective
conductor. Ensure that the voltage is
correct when connecting it. You can
fi nd more detailed information about
this on the nameplate.
■ Connection to the mains supply may
only be made by an authorised elec-
trician approved by the local energy
supply company (siee „Our service“
on page EN-34). Only then will you
benefi t from our warranty and a suf-
fi cient level of safety. Unauthorised
persons may not connect the appli-
ance to the mains supply. You can
endanger your life and that of subse-
quent users! This also applies to dis-
connection from the power supply
and dismantling the old appliance.
■ Since all poles of the appliance can-
not be disconnected from the mains
via an accessible disconnecting de-
vice, an all-pole disconnecting device
in accordance with overvoltage cat-
egory III must be connected within
the house installation with at least 3
mm contact clearance; this includes
fuses, miniature circuit breakers and
protective devices.
■ If the mains plug is no longer acces-
sible after installation, an all-poles
disconnecting device complying with
overvoltage category III must be
connected to the house wiring with a
contact gap of at least 3 mm; this in-
cludes fuses, circuit breakers and con-
tactors.
■ Before connecting the device, switch
off the relevant electric circuit(s)
(switch off circuit breakers or unscrew
fuses).
■ Never open the housing.
■ Mains cord / mains plug
– Lay the mains cord so that it does
not pose a tripping hazard.
– Do not kink or pinch the mains cord
or lay it over sharp edges.
– Do not extend or modify the mains
cord.
– Keep the mains plug and cord away
from naked flames and hot surfaces.
– If the mains cord of the appliance
is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, through custom-
er service or by a qualified specialist.
■ Never try to repair a defective or sus-
pected defective appliance yourself.
You can put your own and future us-
ers’ lives in danger. Only authorised
specialists are allowed to carry out
this repair work.
■ Do not operate the appliance with an
external timer or an external remote
control system.
■ Do not put any objects in or through
the housing openings and also make
sure that children cannot insert any
objects through them.
