Safety
Danger caused by electric current
Mortal danger is caused by contact with energised cables or components!
Please observe the following safety instructions in order to prevent an expo-
sure to electric current:
- Do not use the unit if the mains cable or plug are damaged.
- In this case, you should let the Graef Customer Service install a new con-
nection cable before using the appliance again. This may be done also by
an authorised specialist.
- Do not open the housing under any circumstances. If live connections are
touched or the electrical and mechanical construction are modied, there
is the danger of electric shock.
- Never touch live parts. This can cause an electric shock and may cause
even death.
Safety instructions for the electrical connections
For safe and fault-free operation of the unit, the following requirements
have to be met during the electrical connection:
- Before connecting the unit, compare the connecting data (voltage and
frequency) on the type plate with those of your energy network.
- These details must correspond so that no damage occurs to the unit. In
case of doubt ask your trained electrician.
- The socket has to be protected at least by a 10 amps circuit breaker.
- Make sure that the power cable is not damaged and is not laid across hot
surfaces or sharp edges.
- The connecting cable must not be stretched tightly.
- The electric safety of the unit is ensured only when it is connected to a
socket with protective conductor installed correctly. Operation on a socket
without protective conductor is forbidden. If in doubt, let the house instal-
lation checked by a trained electrician. The manufacturer shall not assume
responsibility for damage which has been caused by absent or interrupted
protective conductor.
