• Only connect the appliance to a fixed power socket. Do not use a plug adapter, junction box
or table socket etc.
• Avoid using extension cables as much as possible. If this is unavoidable, use a cord with
sufficient capacity (at least 3 × 1.5 mm²) and make sure the extension cable is not placed in a
passageway, to avoid tripping.
• Before use, check that the socket you want to use has no defects, and an earth leakage circuit
breaker is connected in accordance with the legal regulations. If this is not clear, contact a
qualified electrician.
• Before use, check that the voltage on the socket you want to use matches that on the type plate
of the appliance (220-240 V; 50 Hz). Damage caused by faulty voltage is not covered by the
guarantee.
• Fully unroll the appliance's power cable before plugging it into the socket. This is to prevent
heat generation in the cable.
• Do not pass the power cable under a carpet or cover it with mats, runners and the like. This
can lead to unforeseen heat generation.
• Regularly check the appliance for damage to the power cable and plug. If there is visible
damage, a strong smell, or parts become excessively hot, stop using it immediately and
remove the plug from the socket.
WARNING!
Electrocution hazard due to short circuit.
• If there are any questions regarding the instructions for electrical safety, contact a qualified
electrician.
• The appliance, plug and/or cable must be repaired and/or replaced by an electrician or
an equivalent qualified person. Repairs by amateurs invalidate the guarantee and can cause
dangerous situations!
• Only use the appliance's factory-fitted plug and never change it. The plug must match the type
of socket used to reduce the risk of electric shocks.
• Do not remove the earth contacts from the plug.
• Never pull the power cable to carry or move the appliance or to disconnect the plug. Keep the
power cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Do not make any changes
to the power cable or submerge it in water or other liquids. Do not turn or kink the power
cable, do not roll up the power cable too tightly after use and do not wind it up around the
appliance; this may damage the insulation layer! Damaged or tangled power cables increase
the risk of electric shocks.
• Do not touch the appliance, plug or mains cable with wet or damp hands.
• Do not perform any repairs to the appliance that are not described in this manual. The
appliance may only be repaired by an authorised service technician.
