Do not allow children to play with the device. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children, unless they are aged 8 or over and are supervised.
Children younger than 8 should be kept away from the device and the mains cable.

DANGER!

Risk of suffocation!

Packaging film can be swallowed or used improperly.

Therefore, there is a risk of suffocation!

• Keep packaging material such as plastic film or plastic bags away from children.

3.2. Setting up the device safely

• Set up and operate all the components on a stable, level and vibration-free surface to prevent the device from falling.

Do not expose the device to any vibrations. Knocks and vibrations may damage the sensitive electronics.
Do not place the product near heat sources (e.g. heaters) which could affect it.

• Do not place naked flames (e.g. lit candles) on or near the device.
  Make sure that the ventilation slots are not covered so that there is always adequate ventilation.
  Do not place any objects on the cables as they may be damaged.

• Maintain a minimum distance of approx. 10cm between the device or mains adapter and any walls. Ensure adequate ventilation.

• Do not place containers filled with liquid, e.g. vases, on or near the product. Such containers could tip over, and the liquid could impair the electrical safety of the product. Keep the device away from moisture, drips and splashes.
• Avoid vibrations, dust, heat and direct sunlight so as to prevent malfunctions. The operating temperature is 5 to 35^ C .
• Do not use the device outdoors as it could be damaged by rain, snow, etc.
  To avoid malfunctions, keep the device at a distance of at least one metre from high-frequency or magnetic interference sources (televisions, loudspeaker boxes, mobile telephones, etc.). If any malfunctions occur, set up the device at a different location.
  Major changes in temperature or fluctuations in humidity can cause moisture to build up within the product due to condensation – this can cause an electrical short circuit.

3.3. Mains connection

• Connect the mains adapter only to a power socket (AC 100-240 V~ 50/60 Hz) that is easy to reach and close to the place where you have set up the device. The socket outlet must be freely accessible so that you can unplug the device from the mains quickly if necessary.

• Only use the power cable supplied with the device. Never try to connect the mains adapter to other connectors as this may cause damage.
  If the device has been moved from a cold room to a warm room, wait before connecting it to the power supply. The resulting condensation may damage the device. The device can be operated safely as soon as it has reached room temperature.

• Make sure that the mains cable does not present a trip hazard. The mains cable must not be trapped and squashed.

3.4. Thunderstorms

Disconnect the mains plug if you are away for a long period of time or if there is a thunderstorm.

3.5. Never carry out repairs yourself

If the mains adapter, cable or device is damaged, pull the plug immediately from the mains socket.
- Do not use the device if it has been dropped or if the device or the connecting cables are visibly damaged.
