Important safety instructions

To avoid life-threatening electric shocks:
• Protect the rope light from damages: NEVER
force any objects of any type through the rope
light. Do not use pointed or sharp objects for
affixing. Do not bind the rope light to movable
objects, for example doors and windows. Do not
suspend any additional items from the rope light.
Do not bend the rope light.
• Should the rope light become damaged, imme-
diately remove the plug from the wall socket.
Then arrange for the appliance to be checked
by Customer Services.
• Ensure that the power plug NEVER comes into
contact with water or other liquids. Should you
place the rope light outdoors, select a suitably
weather-protected wall socket or use a water-
proof extension cable. If you are in any way
unsure about it, consult a specialist.
• Ensure that the plug is at all times easily accessi-
ble so that it may be swiftly removed in the event
of danger.
• When in use, ensure that the power cable can-
not become jammed/trapped or damaged in
any way. Place it such that no one can trip or
stumble over it. Do not burden the power cable
with pulling forces, do not tension it.
• Should the power cable or the power plug
become damaged, arrange for these to be
replaced by Customer Service before continuing
to use the appliance.
• Ensure that the plug is removed from the wall
socket before attaching or removing the rope
light.
• Do not position the power cable or the extension
cable in snow. Melt-water as well as freezing-up
and sharp ice crystals can impair the safety of
the power cable.
• After use or during extended absences, ALWAYS
remove the plug from the power socket. For as
long as the plug is inserted in the wall socket the
appliance itself is under electrical power.
To avoid the risks of fire:
• Should it still be in its packaging, do not connect
the appliance to a wall socket. This would lead
to a build-up of heat.
• DO NOT place the appliance under inflamma-
ble objects, especially not under straw stars, pa-
per, curtains or drapes.
To avoid the risk of accidents and personal
injuries:
• Position the power cable in such a way that the
appliance cannot be pulled down by it.
• This appliance is not intended for use by
individuals (including children) with restricted
physical, physio-logical or intellectual abilities or
deficiences in experience and/or knowledge un-
less they are supervised by a person responsible
for their safety or receive from this person instruc-
tion in how the appliance is to be used. Children
should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
