• High humidity or wet conditions

• Extremely high or low temperatures
• Direct sunlight
• Open flames

3. Safety information

3.1. Restricted group of people

• This device can be used by children of eight years and older, and by people with limited physical, sensory or mental capacity, or with a lack of experience and knowledge, but only with proper supervision, or if they have been told how to use the device safely, and have understood the risks involved if they use it improperly.
