IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
The appliance is driven electrically. Place the appliance near a suitable wall power
socket to connect the appliance directly to a protected mains power supply with pro-
tective conductor (earth/ground) connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating
of your mains power supply corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appli-
ance (230 V, 50 Hz, AC, rated for at least 10 A).
The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.) with a maxi-
mum rated residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is
strongly recommended. If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information.
In various foreign countries, the specifications for power supplies are subject to
incompatible norms. Therefore it is possible that power supplies in foreign countries
do not meet the requirements for safe operation of the appliance. Thus, before ope-
rating the appliance abroad, ensure that safe operation is possible.
• Do not use any desk top multi socket outlet, external timer, or remote control sys-
tems. Do not use an extension cord.
• Always handle power cords with care. The pins of the power plug must be smooth
and clean. Always completely unwind the power cord before use. Do not place the
appliance on a power cord. Power cords may never be knotted, twisted, pulled,
strained or squeezed. Do not let the plug or power cord hang over the edge of the
