• Operate the device only in a completely dry environment and do not touch the device with wet or
damp body parts.
• Place your device so that it can be disconnected from the power supply at any time. The power
outlet should always be near your appliance and should be easily accessible, as the plug of the
power cord serves as a disconnect device from the mains supply.
• To disconnect the unit from the mains, always pull the mains plug and never pull the cable!
• Disconnect the power supply by pulling the mains plug when the appliance is not in use, in case of
a longer interruption of operation and before any maintenance and cleaning work.
