Warning and safety instructions

Technical safety

~Before installation, check the appliance for visible signs of damage. Do not install and use a damaged appliance. A damaged appliance is dangerous.

~The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested, and where there is any doubt, the household wiring system 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).

~Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and connected load) match the mains electricity supply.

This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.

~For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has been built in.

~Never open the housing of the appliance.

Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.

~Installation, maintenance and repairs may only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current national and local safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

~During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:

–the mains fuse is disconnected,

–the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable),

–it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from the socket, or it is switched off at the isolator.
