If the mains plug is no longer acces-
■
sible after installation, an all-pole dis-
connecting device complying with
overvoltage category III must be con-
nected into the house wiring with a
contact gap of at least 3 mm; this in-
cludes fuses, circuit breakers and cov-
ers.
We recommend using a pulse-sensi-
■
tive residual-current device (RCD).

■
external timer or a separate remote
control system.
Keep the appliance, the mains plug
■
and the mains cord away from open
fl ames and hot surfaces.
Do not kink or pinch the mains cord
■
or lay it over sharp edges.
If the mains cord of the appliance is
■
damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, through customer ser-
vice or by a qualifi ed specialist.
Do not put any objects in or through
■
the housing openings and also make
sure that children cannot insert any
objects through them.
Never pull the mains plug out of the
■
socket by the mains cord, always hold
the mains plug itself.
Never touch the mains plug with wet
■
hands.
Never immerse the mains cord or
■
mains plug in water or any other liq-
uids.
In the event of a fault, as well as be-
■
fore cleaning or maintenance, pull
out the mains plug/switch off or un-
screw the fuse.
