Warning! Voltage
Be aware that you are working with an electrical device. On the mains side as
well as internally, voltages occur that can lead to serious injury and death if
used inexpertly or improperly.
• Connect the unit to the power according to the information on the rating plate.
• Before each use, check the power supply cable for damage.
• Safe disconnection from the power supply must be ensured at all times
before starting maintenance and repair work. This can be achieved by
removing the power plug from the socket.
Warning! Electromagnetic field
Be aware that you are working with an device that generates electro-magnetic
fields. Keep a distance of 1 metre from the unit after switching on.
These fields can be harmful for persons with active medical aids such
as pacemakers.
These fields can be harmful for persons with passive medical aids such as joint
prostheses. The wearing of jewellery can also result in injuries due to burns.
It is forbidden for persons with active medical aids to be in the immediate
vicinity of the unit when it is in operation. The generated electromagnetic field
may influence the proper function of such medical aids.
It is forbidden to wear jewellery when working with the generator and
inductors. There is a risk of the jewellery being heated by the electromagnetic
field and resulting in injuries due to burns.
For this reason, persons with passive implants are recommended not to enter
the immediate vicinity of the induction heater when it is in operation.
Furthermore, it cannot be ruled out that the electromagnetic fields could
cause damage to electronic and magnetic data media. Keep such equipment
away from the induction heater.
