SPLB 44 A1 Safety This section contains important safety instructions for handling the device. This device complies with statutory safety regulations. Improper use may result in personal injury and property damage. Risk of electrocution DANGER Risk of fatal injury from electrocution! Contact with live cables or components can result in a fatal injury! Comply with the following safety information in order to avoid hazards from electrical current: ► Do not use the device if the mains plug or the mains cable is damaged. ► When disconnecting the device from the mains supply, always pull on the plug and never on the cable. ► Never touch the mains plug or the device with wet hands. ► Never open the device housing. Touching live connections or making modifications to the electrical or mechanical assembly can lead to a risk of electrocution and fire. ► Do not expose the device to any large temperature fluctuations. Condensing moisture may lead to a risk of short-circuiting. If you move the device from a cold to a warm environment, allow the device to acclimatise before using it. This can take up to two hours. ► Do not insert any objects into the ventilation slots or other openings on the device. ► The device consumes power in standby mode. The main switch for this device does not completely disconnect it from the power supply. To completely disconnect the device from the mains power, the power plug must be removed from the mains power socket. The device must be posi- tioned so that you have unrestricted access to the mains socket at all times and can pull out the plug immediately in an emergency.GB

 29 ■ SPLB 44 A1 Basic safety instructions To ensure safe operation of the device, follow the safety guidelines set out below: ■ Check the device for visible external damage before use. Do not operate a device that has been damaged or dropped. ■ If the cables or connections are damaged, have them replaced by authorised specialists or Customer Service. ■ This device may be used by children aged 8 years and above and by persons with limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, provided that they are under supervision or have been told how to use the device safely and are aware of the potential risks. Do not allow children to play with the device. Cleaning and user maintenance tasks may not be carried out by children unless they are supervised.

DANGER! Do not allow children to play with the packaging material! Keep all packaging materials away from children. Risk of suffocation! ■ Protect the mains cable from hot surfaces and sharp edges.

Failure to make proper repairs can put the user at risk. They will also invalidate any warranty claim. ■ Defective components must always be replaced with original replacement parts. Compliance with the safety requirements can only be guaranteed by using these replacement parts. ■ Do not make any unauthorised modifications or alterations to the device. ■ Never open the device housing. There are no parts inside the device which require user maintenance. In addition, this will invalidate the warranty. ■ Always place the device on a stable and level surface. It can be damaged if dropped. Risk of injury! ■ Do not expose the device to direct sunlight or high temperatures. Otherwise it may overheat and be irreparably damaged. ■ Be sure to provide sufficient air circulation to avoid a heat build-up. Never cover the device. There is a risk of fire! ■ Do not place the product near heat sources such as radiators or other heat-generating devices. ■ Keep the device away from open flames (e.g. candles) at all times. ■ The device is not designed for use in rooms with high temperature or humidity (e.g. bathrooms) or excessive dust.■ 30
