Risk of damage to the device due to improper use When used for the first time, new devices may give off a typical, unavoidable but completely harmless odour. This will fade over time. We recommend you ventilate the room regularly to help dissipate this odour. When developing this product, every care was taken to ensure its emissions are significantly lower than the currently valid threshold values. Do not place containers that are filled with liquid, e.g. vases, on or near the device or its power cord. Such containers could tip over and the liquid could impair the electrical safety of the device. Protect the device and all other devices connected to it from dampness, water drops or water spray. To prevent malfunctions, keep the device dust-free, away from sources of 44050 ML Direct Sales MSN 5006 0037 Content Final.indb 3644050 ML Direct Sales MSN 5006 0037 Content Final.indb 36 16.10.2018 06:39:1416.10.2018 06:39:14DE

heat, and out of direct sunlight. Do not place open flames such as lit candles on or near the device. To prevent overheating, do not cover the device’s mains plug (with newspapers, covers etc.). Never place any object directly on top of the cords, because this may damage the cords. To prevent the device from falling, only install and operate it and its components on a sturdy, level, vibration-free surface. Keep the device at a distance of at least one metre from sources of high-frequency or magnetic interference (televisions, other loudspeakers, mobile telephones, etc.) to avoid malfunctions. 2.3. Connecting the power cord Only use the enclosed mains power cord. The device must be close to the outlet, which must always be easily accessible. Position the cord so that no one can tread on it or trip over it. To disconnect the device from the power supply, remove the plug from the outlet. Always hold the plug firmly when unplugging it. To prevent damage, never pull on the cord. Only operate the device from an earthed 100-240 V ~ 50/60 Hz outlet. Contact the local energy supplier if you have any questions about the power supply at the installation location. Stop using the device’s plug if the housing or the cord connecting it to the device are damaged. 44050 ML Direct Sales MSN 5006 0037 Content Final.indb 3744050 ML Direct Sales MSN 5006 0037 Content Final.indb 37 16.10.2018 06:39:1416.10.2018 06:39:1438 Never open the device housing.
