This unit is in conformity with the safety instructions mentioned hereinbefore. However, incorrect handling may lead to personal injury and material damage.

For safe handling of this unit, please observe the following safety instructions:

• Before using the unit check for any external visible damage of the housing, the connection cable and plug. Do not operate a damaged unit.
• Repairs may be carried out only by an expert or by Graef after-sales service. Incorrect repairs may cause considerable hazards for the user. In addition, any claim under guarantee is forfeited.

- Defective parts must be replaced by original spare parts only. Only these parts are guaranteed to meet the safety requirements.

- This unit can also be used by children from 8 years age as well as by persons with limited physical, sensory or mental ability or with a lack of experience and/or knowledge if they are supervised or have been trained in using the unit and have understood the dangers which may result from it. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children, unless they are 8 years or older and are supervised during the process.

- The unit and its connecting cable have to be clear of children who are younger than 8 years.

- Children should be supervised in order to make sure that they do not play with this unit.

- The unit is not intended to be used with an external timer or a separate remote control.

- Always disconnect the connecting cable by using plug; do not pull the connecting cable.

• Prevent that liquids get on the plug.

- If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, the after-sales service or a similarly qualified person in order

to prevent danger.

- Do not open the housing under any circumstances. When touching live connections or changing the electrical and mechanical structure, there is danger of electric shock.

- Never touch live parts. They may cause an electric shock or even may lead to death.

- Before connecting the unit, compare the connecting data (voltage and frequency) on the type plate with those of your energy network. These details must correspond so that no damage occurs to the unit.

- Check to be sure that the connecting cable has been safely laid. If the cable gets caught somewhere, the unit may fall down from the work surface.

- Packaging materials must not be used for playing. There is danger of suffocation.

At the end of its service life, this product cannot be disposed of in normal domestic waste. The symbol on the product and in the operating instructions point out to this fact. Reuse the materials according to their marking. With the reuse, recycling or other forms of recycling of old equipment, you make an important contribution to the protection of our environment. Please ask your municipal administration for the disposal point.

REQUIREMENTS ON THE INSTALLATION LOCATION

For safe and faultless operation of the unit, the following requirements of the installation location

have to be met:

• The unit has to be placed on a solid, flat, horizontal, and non-slipping surface with a sufficient weight-carrying capacity.
  • Make sure that the unit cannot topple over.
• Choose the location in such a way that children cannot reach the connecting cable of the unit.
• Do not place the unit on hot surfaces, such as hotplates, or near them.
• Never use the unit outdoors, and always keep it in a dry place.
• Do not use the unit near flammable materials (such as curtains, drapes or similar objects) to avoid fire.
• The unit is not designed for installation in a wall or a built-in cupboard.
• Do not set up the unit in a hot, wet or moist environment.
• The socket has to be easily accessible so that the power cable can be removed easily in case of emergency.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

For safe and fault-free operation of the unit, the following requirements have to be met during the electrical connection:

• Before connecting the unit, compare the connecting data (voltage and frequency) on the type plate with those of your energy network. These details must correspond so that no damage occurs to the unit. In case of uncertainty, contact a qualified electrician.
• The socket has to be protected at least by a 10 amps circuit breaker.
• Make sure that the connecting cable is not damaged and not laid across hot surfaces or sharp edges.
