Safety information
2.1 General safety information
Safety equipment
To rule out hazardous conditions, it is strictly prohibited to change, remove, bypass, or
override safety devices.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in hazardous situations that could cause death
or serious injury.
Risk of explosion and fire
Do not store or use highly flammable liquids that produce flammable vapors, such as gasoline
or ethanol, in the proximity of the Wallbox. Electrostatic charge or heat generated during
charging can ignite explosive and flammable liquids.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in hazardous situations that could cause death
or serious injury.
Floodwater
Disconnect the Wallbox if there is any danger that it is or will be fully or partially submerged
in water, e.g. due to backwater, flooding or heavy rain. Water infiltration or humidity may
lead to severe damage to the Wallbox.
Only qualified personnel may dry the Wallbox and check it for suitability of safe operation.
Moisture or water in the Wallbox can lead to electric shock.
Charging cable as a tripping hazard
The charging cable can become an obstacle while it connects the Wallbox and vehicle. Ensure
that the charging cable does not block any escape route or constitute a risk of tripping in
another way.
When tripping over a charging cable, it can be unintentionally ripped out from the socket
outlet and cause damage to the vehicle or Wallbox.
Cleaning
Clean the surface of the Wallbox with a damp cloth. Protect the environment and use only
biodegradable cleaning agents.
Do not use steam jets or water jets for cleaning. Penetrating moisture can lead to severe
damage to the Wallbox. Moisture or water in the Wallbox can lead to electric shock.
Failure to observe the danger notices may lead to severe injuries that may result in death.
