stress.
• If safe operation is no longer possible, take the
product out of operation and protect it from
unintended use. Safe operation is no longer
guaranteed if the product:

that the cable cross-section of the connecting
cable is sufficiently dimensioned according to the
national norms.
• Never connect the product to the power supply
immediately after it has been moved from a cold
room to a warm room (e.g. during transport). The

this may take several hours. Only then may the
product be connected to the power supply and
put into operation.

during thunderstorms
when the product is not used for a long
period of time.
Never pour liquids on or near the product.
There is a high risk of fire or fatal electric shock.
If liquid should nevertheless get inside the device,
immediately switch off all poles of the CEE mains
socket to which the product is connected (switch
off fuse/automatic circuit breaker/FI circuit breaker
of the associated circuit). Only then disconnect the
mains plug of the product from the mains socket
and contact a qualified person. Do not operate the
product any longer.
In commercial facilities, observe the
local accident prevention regulations.
For Germany:
German Federation of Institutions for Statutory
Accident Insurance and Prevention (Verband
der gewerblichen Berufsgenossenschaften) for
electrical systems and equipment. In schools,
training centers, hobby and do-it-yourself
workshops, the handling of electrical equipment
must be supervised by trained personnel.
