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 supply line of the unit.
●
Do not place the appliance on hot surfaces, such as hotplates, or near them.
●
Never use the unit in the open, and store in a dry location.
●
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 correspond so that no dam-
age 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 on a socket without protective conductor is forbid-
den. If in doubt, let the house installation check by a trained electrician. The manufacturer
shall not assume responsibility for damage which has been caused by absent or interrupted
protective conductor.
