Important safety instructions
To avoid potentially fatal electric shocks:
•Ensure that a bulb is in every bulb holder when the plug is connected to a wall socket. Touching exposed contacts in the bulb holder can be po- tentially fatal.
•Ensure that neither the light string, the power cable nor the plug come into contact with water or other liquids.
•Use the appliance in dry rooms only, not outdoors.
•When in use, ensure that the power cable between the lamps and to the power plug does not become trapped or liable to being damaged. Should the power cables or the plug become damaged the light string may no longer be used, as it is no longer safe.
•Immediately remove the plug from the socket if the light string fails to function correctly or is re- cognisably damaged, especially if the glass of a bulb is broken. First replace the bulb. Arrange for the appliance to be checked by Customer Services if other damage is recognisable.
•After use or during extended absences, ALWAYS remove the plug from the power socket. For as long as the plug is inserted in the wall socket the appliance itself is under electrical power.
•Ensure that the plug is at all times easily accessi-
ble so that it may be swiftly removed in the event of danger.
To avoid the risks of fire:
•Do not connect the light string to a wall socket if it is still in its packaging. This would lead to a bu-
•Use only spare bulbs that correspond to the de- tails given in the technical data. Using more po- werful bulbs, or those with different wattages, could lead to the other bulbs becoming too hot or to an overload of the power cable.
•Replace failed bulbs as soon as possible! Due to the automatic shunting of failed bulbs the electri- cal energy distributes itself amongst the remai- ning bulbs, causing them to glow more brightly. On the one side this also shortens their service life, on the other, the bulbs will become hotter.
•DO NOT place the light string under inflamma- ble objects, especially not under straw stars, pa- per, curtains or drapes.
To avoid the risk of accidents and per- sonal injuries:
•Lead the light string and its power cables such that no one can trip or stumble over them.
•Do not permit children or infirm people to come into close contact with electrical appliances wi- thout supervision, they are not always able to correctly assess the potential dangers of them.
•Keep children under 3 years of age away from the light string. They could swallow small pieces from it!
