Safety instructions  
• This appliance is not intended for use by individuals  
(including children) with restricted physical, physiological  
or intellectual abilities or deficiencies in experience  
and/or knowledge unless they are supervised by a person  
responsible for their safety or receive from this person  
instruction in how the appliance is to be used. Children  
should be supervised to ensure that they do not play  
with the appliance.  
• Always remove the power plug before cleaning the  
appliance.  
• Check the appliance and all parts for visible damages.  
The safety concept can work only if the appliance is in a  
faultless condition.  
• The power plug must always be easily accessible, so  
that in the event of an emergency the appliance can  
be quickly disconnected from the mains power supply.  
Risk of electrical shocks.  
• Connect the appliance only to correctly installed and  
earthed mains power sockets. Ensure that the rating of  
the local power supply tallies completely with the details  
given on the rating plate of the appliance.  
• Arrange for Customer Services to repair or replace  
connecting cables and/or appliances that are not  
functioning properly or have been damaged.  
• NEVER submerse the appliance in water. Wipe it only  
with a slightly damp cloth.  
• Do not expose the appliance to rain and never use it in  
a humid or wet environment.  
• Always take hold of the power cable by the plug.  
Do not pull on the cable itself and never touch the power  
cable with wet hands, this could result in either a short  
circuit or you receiving an electric shock.  
• Do not place the appliance, furniture or anything else  
on the power cable and ensure that it does not become  
clamped.  
• NEVER make a knot in the power cable and do NOT  
bind it together with other cables. The power cable  
should be positioned so that no one can step on or trip  
over it.  
• Ensure that the power cable does not become wet dur-  
ing operation.  
- 3 -  
• You are not permitted to open the appliance housing or  
repair the appliance. If the housing is opened, you run  
the risk of receiving a potentially fatal electric shock and  
the warranty lapses.  
• Protect the appliance against drip and spray water.  
Do not place any water-filled vessels (e.g. flower vases)  
on or near the appliance.  
Risk of fire!  
• Do not use the appliance near hot surfaces.  
• Do not place the appliance in locations that are subject  
to direct sunlight. Otherwise, it may overheat and become  
irreparably damaged.

• Some aggressive furniture finishes can have a destructive  
influence on the appliance's rubber pads. If necessary,  
place the appliance on a nonslip pad.  
Thunderstorms!  
• Equipment connected to a power supply can be damaged  
during a thunderstorm. You should therefore always  
remove the plug from the power socket when there is  
a storm.

appliance from the power network. Additionally, the  
appliance consumes power when in standby-mode.  
To completely separate the appliance from mains power,  
the power plug MUST be removed from the mains power  
socket.  
Notice regarding electrical powersurges(EFT /  
electrical fast transient) and electrostatic  
discharges:  
In a case of malfunction due to an electrical fast transient  
(power surge) and/or electrostatic discharge, the appliance
