• Remove any stickers on the unit (do not remove the type plate).
DISPOSAL OF THE PACKAGING
The packaging protects the unit against transport damage. The packaging materi-
als are selected according to the environmental compatibility and disposal-related
aspects and can therefore be recycled.
The return of packaging into the material cycle saves raw material and reduces the
waste volume. Dispose of the packaging material no longer needed at collection
points for the "Green Dot" recycling system (in Germany).
IMPORTANT!
Keep the original packaging during the warranty period so that the unit can be
properly packed and transported in the event of a warranty claim.
REQUIREMENTS ON THE INSTALLATION LOCATION
For safe and fault free operation of the unit, the following requirements of the
installation location have to be met:
• The unit has to be placed on a solid, flat, horizontal, and non-slipping surface
with a sufficient weight-carrying capacity.
• Make sure that the unit cannot topple over.
• Choose the location in such a way that children cannot reach the hot surface of
the unit or the supply lines.
• Do not place the appliance on hot surfaces, such as hotplates, or near them.
• Do not use the unit outdoors and keep it in a dry place.
• The unit is not designed for installation in a wall or a built-in cupboard.
• Do not set up the unit in a hot, wet or moist environment.
• The socket has to be easily accessible so that the power cable can be removed
easily in case of emergency.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
For safe and fault-free operation of the unit, the following requirements
have to be met during the electrical connection:
• Before connecting the unit, compare the connecting data (voltage and frequency)
on the type plate with those of your energy network. These details must corre-
spond so that no damage occurs to the unit. In case of uncertainty, contact a
qualified electrician.
• The socket has to be protected at least by a 10 amps circuit breaker.
• Make sure that the power cable is not damaged and is not laid across hot surfaces
or sharp edges.
• The connecting cable must not be stretched tightly.
• The electric safety of the unit is ensured only when it is connected to a socket
with protective conductor installed correctly. Operation at a socket outlet without
a protective earth conductor is not permitted. If in doubt, let the house installa-
tion checked by a trained electrician. The manufacturer shall not assume respon-
