ted fire sources, such as
candles, on the device.
• Avoid additional heat
sources, e.g. solar radia-
tion, heaters, other ap-
pliances etc.!
• Do not allow children or
persons in need of con-
stant attention to use

mat under the rubber pads
of the appliance.
Note:
In certain countries there
could be exceptional regula-
tions for the allocated radio
frequency ranges.
