8Before plugging the appliance into the mains, check that the specifications indicated on the date plate (on the appliance and/ or packaging) correspond with those of the electrical and gas systems in your home.

11If the socket and appliance plug are not compatible, have the socket replaced with a suitable model by a qualified technician, who should also check that the cross-section of the socket ca- ble is sufficient for the power absorbed by the appliance. The use of adaptors, multiple sockets and/or extensions, is not rec- ommended. If their use cannot be avoided, remember to use only single or multiple adapters and extensions which comply with current safety regulations. In these cases, never exceed the maximum current capacity indicated on the individual adap- tor or extension and the maximum power indicated on the mul- tiple adapter.
