Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply make sure that
the voltage and frequency correspond to the rating on the data plate.
This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
This appliance may be connected via a plug and fused socket. If you wish to connect it to an isolator switch, or if the appliance is supplied without a
plug, it must be installed and connected by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with local and national safety regulations. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect installation or connection.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between the appliance and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is tested regularly, and if there is any doubt, the electrical wiring in the home should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electrical supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
Never open the casing of the appliance.
Tampering with electrical connections or components is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.
