WARNING about material damage
•Take care when handling the power
cable: always take hold of the power
cable at the plug. Do not pull on the
cable itself and never take hold of the
power cable with wet hands as this
may cause a short circuit or electric
shock. Do not place the device, furniture or any similar items on the power
cable and take care that it does not
become trapped. Never tie a knot in
the power cable and do not connect it
to another cable. The power cable
must be laid where nobody can step
on it.
A damaged power cable may cause a
fire or electric shock. Check the power
cable from time to time. You must not
replace a damaged power cable yourself. Repairs must be carried out by a
specialist workshop or at the Service
Center.
•Do not use any astringent or abrasive
cleaning agents.
•Heavy items must not be placed on
the device.
•Protect the device against heat. If you
set the device up on a shelf, maintain
a distance of at least 10 cm on all
sides.
•Naked flames, such as burning candles, must not be placed on or immediately next to the device.
•Switch off all devices before connecting them to one another and follow the
instructions for the devices you wish to
connect.
•The device is fitted with non-slip feet.
As furniture is coated with various varnishes and plastics and may be treated with different cleaning products, it
cannot be completely ruled out that
some of these substances contain
components which may attack and
soften the feet. If necessary, place a
non-slip mat under the device.
