Electrical safety and cord handling
• Voltage: Before connecting and turning on the appliance, ensure the electrical voltage
and circuit frequency correspond to those indicated on the appliance rating label.
• WARNING! Ensure the outlet is properly earthed to the ground. If unsure, consult
a qualified electrician or a service representative. Improper connection of the
equipment grounding conductor can result in the risk of an electric shock if the
appliance malfunctions.
• WARNING! Do not modify the cord and plug provided with the appliance; if it does
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

cord must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. Contact our after sales support centre.
• Connection: Do not use an adaptor; do not use an extension cord. We
recommend you connect the appliance to a separate circuit serving only this
appliance.
• Power cord: Do not kink or damage the power cord. Position it out of the way so
no one steps on or places anything on the cord or against it.
