Product description
The basic appliance and the attachments are in-
tended solely for use in outdoor, non-commercial

rised conversions or add-ons, are regarded as
contrary to the intended use and will result in in-
validation of the warranty as well as loss of con-
formity (CE mark); the manufacturer will thus de-
cline any responsibility for damage and/or injury
suffered by the user or third parties.
