Safety of children and people with
limited capacities
This appliance can be used by
•
children of 8 years old or above and
by people with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or a
lack of experience and/or knowledge
if they are supervised or instructed
in the safe use of the appliance and
understand the hazards involved.
Children must not play with the
appliance. Cleaning and user
maintenance should not be
performed by children without
supervision.
Children may only use microwave
•
appliances if they have been trained
to do so. Children must be able to
operate the appliance correctly and
must understand the risks, to which
reference is made in the user
manual.
Children must be supervised while
•
they are using the appliance so that
they don't play with it.
WARNING For anyone other than a
•
person who is trained for that
purpose, it is very dangerous to
conduct any maintenance or repair
work, which requires the removal of
a cover that provides protection
against exposure to radiation from
microwave energy.
•
Children younger than 8 years are to
be kept away from the equipment
and the mains cable.
•
Connect the dehumidifier only if the
mains voltage of the plug socket is
compatible with the specification on
the name plate.
Never operate several devices by
•
means of the same earthed outlet,
e.g. using a multiple plug socket.
Connect the dehumidifier only to an
•
easily accessible outlet so that you
can unplug it quickly from the
mains in the event of a
malfunction.
If you connect the dehumidifier to
•
the mains by means of an
extension cord, the extension cord
must
be in compliance with the
valid safety conditions.
•
Do not operate the dehumidifier if
it exhibits visible damage or the
mains cable and/or the mains plug
is defective.
If the mains cable of the
•
dehumidifier is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or its
customer service representative or a
similarly qualified person in order to
avoid risks.
Do not open the housing but leave
•
repairs to professional experts.
Consult a specialist workshop for
this.
In the event of independently
•
performed repairs, an inappropriate
connection or improper operation,
liability and warranty claims are
excluded.
Danger of electrocution!
Incorrect electrical installation or
excessively high mains voltage can lead
to electric shock!
Connect the dehumidifier only to a
properly
installed earthed outlet
