• Connect the appliance to a wall socket that can be accessed easily.

• As power supply, only use the supplied mains adaptor.

• Only connect the power adaptor to a normal mains socket connected to the public supply. Before plugging in the power adaptor, check whether the voltage stated on the power adaptor complies with the voltage of your electricity supplier.

• Never connect or disconnect power adaptors if your hands are wet.

• Never unplug the power adaptor from the mains socket by pulling on the cable; always use the grips on the plug.

• For safety reasons, disconnect the power adaptor from the mains socket during storms.

• Do not touch the power adapter if there are any signs of damage, as this may cause a fatal electric shock! Take the following steps:
  – Switch off the mains voltage to the socket containing the power adapter (switch off the corresponding circuit breaker or remove the safety fuse, and then switch off the corresponding RCD protective switch).
  – Unplug the power adapter from the mains socket.
  – Use a new power adapter of the same design. Do not use the damaged adapter again.
