Electrical connection
The appliance must be connected to an
electrical outlet that is properly
grounded. The electrical installation
must comply with the applicable
electrical code.
The plug must be easily accessible and
not concealed behind the appliance so
that the appliance can quickly be
disconnected from the electricity
supply in an emergency. In addition, no
other appliances should be plugged
into a socket located directly behind
this appliance.
The power cord must not come into
contact with the back of the appliance,
as they could be damaged by
vibrations from the appliance. This may
result in a short circuit.
56
Do not use an extension cord to
connect the appliance to the power
supply. Extension cords do not
guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. they pose a danger of
overheating).
Do not connect the appliance to
stand-alone inverters, such as those
used with an autonomous energy
source, e.g. solar power systems.
Otherwise, when the appliance is
switched on, peak loads in the system
can cause the safety shutdown
mechanism to be triggered. This can
damage electronic units.
In addition, the appliance must not be
used with energy-saving devices,
which reduce the amount of energy
supplied to the appliance and cause it
to overheat.
If the power cord needs to be replaced,
this work must only be performed by a
qualified electrician.
