DANGER
Risk of fatal injury from electrocution!
Contact with live cables or components can result in fatal injury!
Comply with the following safety information in order to avoid the risk of electric shock:
► Do not use the device if the mains power plug or the connection cable are damaged.
► When disconnecting the device from the mains supply, always pull on the plug and
never on the cable.
► Never touch the mains plug or the device with wet hands.
► The device housing must not be opened under any circumstances. There is a risk of
electric shock or fire if live connections are touched and the electrical and mechanical
structure is changed.
► Do not insert any objects into the ventilation slots or other openings on the device.
► The device consumes power in standby mode. To completely disconnect the device
from the mains power, the power plug must be removed from the mains power
socket. The device should be positioned so that you have unrestricted access to
the mains power socket at all times, and can pull out the plug immediately in an
emergency.
Handling batteries
DANGER
Mishandling the batteries can cause fires, explosions, leakages or
other hazards!
► Do not throw the batteries into a fire and do not subject them to high temperatures.

of the mounting plate is approx. 3.1cm behind the front of the cupboard so that the
device is flush with the cupboard after installation. The side edges of the mounting
plate must be around 6.3cm from any adjacent cabinets or walls.
♦ Mark the 4 mounting points with a pencil.
♦ Using a spike or nail, make a small depression at the respective marking points.
♦ If required, place the supplied spacers 14 between the cupboard and the mounting
plate. If using the spacers, you will need the long mounting screws 15 .
