• Any guarantee claims are rendered invalid if damage occurs due to non-observance of these operating ins-tructions. We assume no liability for any consequent damage.

• We assume no liability for personal injury or damage to property caused by incorrect handling or non-obser-vance of the safety instructions. Any guarantee claims expire in such cases.

• Unauthorized conversions and/or modifications of the appliance are not permitted for safety and licensing reasons (CE).

• The appliance is approved for operation in dry, closed rooms only . Do not operate the device nearby wa-ter, such as in bathrooms or nearby swimming pools.

• The appliance may not be exposed to extreme temperatures (< +5°C / > +35°C) in operation.

• The appliance may not be subjected to strong vibrations or heavy mechanical strain.

• The appliance may not be exposed to excessive moisture (due to dripping or sprayed water, for example).

• Do not place any recipients filled with liquids, such as glasses or vases, on top of or directly next to the appliance. They could fall over, causing water to enter the appliance. Never pour out liquids above the ap-pliance. Do not place any small objects, such as coins or paper clips, on the appliance since they could fall in-side the appliance. You run a high risk of causing a fire or life-threatening electrocution! If any liquid or objects enter the appliance nevertheless, pull the mains plug out of the socket immediately and contact a specialist.

• Only pull the mains plug out of the socket by the intended gripping surface. Do not pull it by the cable.

• Never plug the mains plug in or out with damp or wet hands.

• Always pull the mains plug out of the mains socket:
  Before cleaning the appliance
  If there is a thunderstorm
  If you will not be using the appliance for a long period of time (>1 week)

• Electrical appliances must be kept out of the reach of children. Be particularly careful if children are present. Children are not aware of the hazards involved in handing electrical appliances improperly. Children could attempt to poke objects into the appliance. There is a life-threatening danger of electrocution.

• Do not leave the appliance unattended while operating it.

• Never place the appliance on an unstable or movable surface. Persons could be injured or the appliance damaged by it falling down.

• Live components can be exposed by opening covers or removing components (unless this can be done without tools). Contact points can also be live. If the appliance has to be opened in order to calibrate, service, repair or replace components or assemblies, all of its poles must be disconnected from all sources of voltage first. If the appliance has to be kept open and under voltage during maintenance or repairs, this work may only be carried out by a specialist who is familiar with the risks involved and the relevant regulations.

• Never connect the appliance directly after transferring it from a cold to a warm room. The condensation water that forms could destroy the appliance or result in an electric shock.
