Safety instructions
To avoid fatal injury through electric
shock:
• Ensure that the power cable never
becomes wet or damp during opera-
tion. Lay the cable such that it cannot
be pinched or otherwise damaged.
Should the power cable become da-
maged, have it repaired by customer
service before continuing to use the
appliance.
• Do not place candles or other open
fire sources on the appliance.
• Use the appliance only in dry rooms.
• Never allow fluids or objects of any
kind to enter into the appliance.
• Do not place water-filled receptacles
(e.g. flower vases) on the appliance.
• Position the appliance close to an
electrical wall socket. Make sure that
the wall socket is easily accessible
• Do not use an extension cable. In ca-
ses of danger, the plug must be quickly
and easily accessible.
• You may not open the casing or re-
pair the appliance yourself. Should
you do so, appliance safety can no
longer be assured and the warranty
will become void. Repairs are to be
carried out exclusively by a specialist
firm or the service centre.
To avoid burn and other injuries:
• Place the appliance in an open and
well-ventilated area so that heat
pockets cannot be created inside the
appliance.

• Never cover the ventilation openings!
• Avoid close proximity to heat sources,
e.g. direct solar radiation, heaters and
other appliances etc.!
• Do not allow children or elderly per-
sons to use the appliance unsupervised,
they are not always able to correctly
assess the potential dangers.
Electro-magnetic fields
This appliance lies below the maximum
legal limits for electric smog, even within
the casing! However, should you still have
doubts about installing it in the bedroom:
• You will be quite safe if you place the
appliance about half a meter from
the bed. At this distance the fields are
no longer extant, even for those who
are electro-magnetic sensitive.
Notice: Check the batteries of the
power failure protection system at
least once per year and replace them
if necessary.
This appliance is fitted with anti-slip
rubber pads. As furniture upper sur-
faces comprise of various materials
and are cleaned with various types
of polishes and/or cleaning agents,
it cannot be completely excluded
that some of these substances con-
tain components that could attack
the rubber pads and soften them.
If necessary, place an anti-slip mat
under the rubber pads of the appliance.
