12.6 Electrical connection
In order to ensure the safe and trouble-free operation of the device, the
following instructions must be observed for the electrical connection:
•
Before plugging in the unit, compare the voltage and frequency data
on the vacuum sealer's rating plate (found on the bottom of the unit)
with that of your electrical network. This data must be compatible. If in
doubt consult a qualified electrician.
•
The electrical outlet must be protected by a 16A safety cut-out switch.
•
The use of a multi-plug outlet adapter is not recommended due to fire
danger.
•
Inspect the power cord for damage and ensure it doesn't run under the
unit or over hot or sharp surfaces.
•
The electrical safety of the unit is only guaranteed if it is connected to
a properly installed protective conductor system. Use of the unit
without a protective conductor is prohibited. If in doubt, consult a
qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be made responsible for
damages due to a missing or damaged protective conductor.
12.6.1
Extension cords
If an extension cord is used:
► The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the unit.
► The cord should be arranged so that it does not drape over a
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped
over.
