gligent use of the product.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Connection of the cleaner to the mains must be carried out by
skilled technicians able to ensure that all regulations in force
are complied with use in respect of current standards and
legislation.
Ensure that the mains voltage available is the same as the vol-
tage at which the cleaner is supposed to work; this is indicated
ontheidenticationplate.
Danger
- The electric cable must be protected from accidental cru-
shing.
- Do not use the machine if the supply cable is damaged.
- The use of any electric appliance requires the respect of
some basic rules:
• Do not touch the appliance with wet or damp hands or feet.
• Do not use the appliance bare-footed or with unsuitable
clothing.
• Do not pull the supply cable or the appliance itself in order
to disconnect the plug from the electric supply. (For water
cleanersratedatlessthan3kWttedwithplug).
