Important safety information

Care and maintenance

Maintenance is necessary if the device has been dam-

aged. This includes damage to the plug, mains cable and

housing, penetration of the interior by liquids or foreign

objects, exposure to rain or moisture or when the device

does not work properly or has fallen.

 Disconnect the device from the mains power supply

before maintenance (e.g. cleaning).

 If smoke develops or unusual noises or odours are

detected, then switch off the device immediately and

pull the mains plug from the socket. In such cases,

the device should not be used until it has been in-

spected by a qualified technician.

 Maintenance work should only be carried out by qual-

ified specialists.

 Never open the housing on the device or accesso-

ries. There is a risk of fatal injury due to an electric

shock when the housing is opened.
