aged. This includes damage to the plug, mains cable and

housing, penetration of the interior by liquids or foreign

objects, exposure to rain or moisture or when the device

does not work properly or has fallen.

•Disconnect the device from the mains power supply

before maintenance (e.g. cleaning).

•If smoke develops or unusual noises or odours are

detected, then switch off the device immediately and

pull the mains plug from the socket. In such cases,

the device should not be used until it has been in-

spected by a qualified technician.

•Maintenance work should only be carried out by

qualified specialists.

•Never open the housing on the device or accesso-

ries. There is a risk of fatal injury due to an electric

shock when the housing is opened.

•Clean the device housing and remote control with a

damp cloth.

•Do not use solvents, white spirit or thinners as these

can damage the surface of the device.

•Do not use any of the following substances:

•Salt water, insecticides, solvents containing chlorine

or acids (ammonium chloride) or scouring powder.

•Gently rub the surface with a cotton cloth until it is

completely dry.

Warning

The device works under dangerous voltages. The

device must only be opened by authorised spe-

cialists. All maintenance and service work must be

carried out by authorised firms. Improper repairs

Warning

If in doubt, have a specialist technician carry out

assembly, installation and connection of the de-

vice.

Improper or unprofessional work on the mains

power supply or domestic installation puts both

you and other persons at risk.

Connect the installations so that the mains power

circuit and low-voltage circuit always run sepa-

rately from each other. They should not be con-

nected at any point or become connected as a re-

sult of a malfunction.
