1.3 Electrical safety
• Before connecting the appliance to the power supply for the fi rst time,
make sure that the voltage on the appliance label corresponds to that of
the household electrical outlet.
• The electric appliance is designed to power from 1 / N / PE ~ 230 V 50
Hz.
• The electrical safety of the appliance is guaranteed only if it is properly
connected to the mains.
• Electrical protection class I equipment is equipped with a protection
against electric shock by means of protective earthing of inanimate
parts, which can become dangerous when the device is malfunctioning.
Always connect such devices to properly installed mains sockets that
are equipped with earthing conductors and have a properly grounded
earthing conductor.
All electrical equipment is equipped with a three-wire power supply.
• Class II electrical equipment is protected against electric shock by
double insulation or by enhanced insulation of hazardous live electrical
parts. Device of protection class II it must not be equipped with means
to connect protective earthing.
All electrical equipment is equipped with two-wire power supply.
• Class III electrical equipment is a device that is powered by a small
safe voltage source (battery or accumulator) and does not present any
danger to the user from electrical shock.
• In order to provide increased safety against the risk of electric
shock due to the use of electrical appliances by laypersons, it is
recommended to install the power supply circuit for sockets with a rated
current not exceeding 20 A RCD with a rated operating current not
exceeding 30 mA.
To ensure the safety and correctness of the electrical installation,
consult a qualifi ed electrician.
• 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
fi re 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.

5EN
• 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.
Do not use inappropriate or damaged drawers!

appliance to mechanical stress or external heat sources. Damage to the
power cord may result in electric shock.
• When the power cord is damaged, disconnect the appliance from the
mains and do not use it again.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer,
its service department or a similarly qualifi ed person to avoid the risk of
electric shock.
• Regularly check and maintain the electrical appliance as well as the
power cord and power socket. Disconnect the power plug regularly and
clean it if necessary. Pollution by dust or other substances may cause
disruption of the insulating state and consequently fi re.
• Do not expose the appliance to water or moisture. The ingress of water
into the appliance increases the risk of electric shock.
If the power cord is wet or the water has penetrated the water,
disconnect it immediately from the mains. If the appliance is plugged
into a mains socket and if possible, turn off the power circuit before
attempting
unplug the power. If you are pulling wet wires from a live power source,
be very careful.
• If the electrical equipment is installed (connecting) the protective covers
are dismantled, the electrical parts must not be accessible to the user
when the installation is fi nished.
