consult with a qualified electrician.

5EN
• Only use a power cord with a plug (mains lead) supplied with the device
and compatible with a wall socket. Using another cable may result in
fire or electric shock.
• Always connect an electrical appliance to an easily accessible mains
socket. In the event of an operating fault, the appliance must be
switched off as soon as possible and disconnected from mains supply.
• The power cord and mains plug must always be easily accessible for
safe disconnection of the electrical appliance from the power supply.
• Do not pull off the power cord by pulling the cable. Disconnect the
power cord by pulling the plug behind the power cord plug.
• If you use an extension cord, make sure that the total rated power of
all devices connected to the extension cord does not exceed the max.
current load on the extension cable.
• If you need to use an extension cord or power supply block, make sure
that the extension cord or power pack is plugged into a power socket,
and not to another extension cord or power supply. The extension
power cord or power supply block must be designed for grounded
electrical plugs and connected to a properly grounded electrical socket.
• The power plug of the appliance must be compatible with the mains
socket. Never use any adapters or modify the socket in any other way.
