Electricity

precautions are therefore to be taken:
• This appliance must only be connected to an
earthed safety socket installed in accordance with
the regulations. Do not use extension cords or
multiple socket strips.
• The appliance must only be connected to the
mains if the voltage marked on the rating label
corresponds to the supply voltage.
• Do not kink or pinch the power cord. Keep both
the cord and the appliance itself well away from

never pull on the power cord; always grip the plug
itself. Do not carry the unit by its power cord.
