• If you have questions which are not answered in these operating instructions, contact our technical
support service or other technical personnel.
b) Electrical safety
• Before connecting the product to the mains, check that your local A/C mains voltage matches the
specifications on the nameplate. Only power the charger using a standard mains socket (230 V/AC,
50 Hz) connected to the public grid.
• Never pour any liquids over electrical devices or place objects filled with liquid next to the product.
If liquid or an object does get inside the appliance, power down the respective socket (e.g. switch off the
circuit breaker), and then remove the mains plug from the mains socket. Discontinue use and take the
product to a specialist repair centre.
• Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a cold room into a warm one. The
condensation generated could destroy the product. Allow the product to reach room temperature before
connecting it and putting it to use. This may take several hours.
• The mains outlet must be located near to the appliance and be easily accessible.
• Never unplug the mains plug by pulling on the cable. Always use the grips on the plug.
• Unplug the mains plug from the mains socket if you do not plan to use the appliance for an extended
period of time.
• For safety reasons, unplug the mains plug from the mains socket during thunderstorms.
• Make sure 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. Otherwise the mains cable may be damaged. Damaged mains cables can
cause a fatal electric shock.
• Do not touch the mains cable if there are any signs of damage. Power down the respective mains socket
(e.g. via the respective circuit breaker), and then carefully pull the mains plug from the mains socket.
Never use the product if the mains cable is damaged.
• Damaged mains cables must be replaced by the manufacturer, an authorized repair centre or a qualified
electrician.
• Never insert or unplug the mains plug when your hands are wet.
• To ensure that the appliance is completely disconnected from the power supply, unplug the mains plug
from the socket. Never unplug the appliance while it is still on. Only switch the appliance on and off using
the buttons on the remote control or on the control panel.
c) Persons and product
• Never open the appliance. Do not stick items into its openings.
• Never cover the appliance. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation. Leave a gap of at least 50 cm
around the appliance in all directions to ensure that it is sufficiently ventilated.
