shock or malfunction.
Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric shock or
malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the unit from the
power supply and contact your dealer.
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain flam-
mable gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.
Service

indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any other problem that is not
covered in these instructions occurs, disconnect the AC mains lead
and contact your dealer or an authorized service center. Electric
shock or damage to the unit can occur if the unit is repaired, disas-
sembled or reconstructed by unqualified persons.
