• Protect the device from moisture, drips and splashes. These can cause a risk of
electric shock. Never place anything filled with liquid, e.g. vases, on the product.
• CAUTION: Acute danger to life from electric shock: Never attempt to repair an
electrical device yourself – for your own safety, always consult the nearest Customer
Service unit / specialist. This also applies to power cables.
• Protect the power cord from hot surfaces. For this reason the power cord must not
touch the hot appliance and must not run along below the appliance. Take this into
account when choosing where to fix it.
• Always treat the power cord with care. Protect it from sharp edges or corners and
avoid squeezing or jamming it.
• Use only cable extensions or multiple-socket extensions that comply with the
technical specifications. Consult a specialist dealer for advice.
• Make sure that the specifications on the rating plate correspond to the situation in
your household. This appliance should only be connected to a properly
earthed power outlet.
• Unplug the appliance from the mains during thunderstorms or if you will not be
using it for a long period. Always grasp the plug itself, not the cable. Make sure your
hands are dry before touching the mains plug.
• Never use the appliance outdoors or in rooms with high humidity, e.g. in bathrooms.
Do not use the appliance close to water. Proximity to water is a risk even if the
appliance is switched off.

Risk of burns
• The appliance gets very hot during operation, especially at the bottom. Objects
situated below the appliance can also get very hot. Do not touch the hot surfaces.

• Before cleaning the appliance or removing it from the wall, wait until it has cooled
down sufficiently.
