b) Persons and product
• Before connecting the product to the mains, check that your local A/C mains voltage matches the
specifications on the nameplate. Never attempt to operate the light using another type of voltage, as
this may destroy the product.
• Never cover the product. The surface may get hot during use; covering the product not only constitutes
a fire hazard but may also cause it to overheat, which could damage the components.
• Keep the product away from flammable materials and objects.
• Do not hang or secure any objects (e.g. decorations) to the product.
• Do not mount or use the product in rooms or in adverse environmental conditions that contain or may
contain flammable gases, vapours or dust! This may result in an explosion.
• The LED strip is constructed according to protection class III.
• The LED strip is not designed for use with an alternating current (transformers). This may destroy the
product!
• Do not place mechanical loads onto the components of the LED strip.
• The power adapter is built according to protection class II. Only use a standard mains socket
(100 - 240 V/AC, 50/60 Hz) connected to the public grid to power the product.
• Never pour any liquids over electrical products or put objects filled with liquid next to the product. If
liquid or an object does enter the interior of the product, power down the respective socket (e.g. switch
off circuit breaker) and then unplug the mains plug. Discontinue use and take the product to a specialist
repair centre.
• Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a cold room into a warm one. The
condensation generated could destroy the product. The power adapter may also generate a fatal electric
shock! Allow the product to reach room temperature before connecting it to an appliance. This may take
several hours.
• Do not touch the power adapter if there are any signs of damage, as this may cause a fatal electric
shock! First, switch off the mains voltage to the socket to which the mains adapter is connected (switch
off at the corresponding circuit breaker, remove the safety fuse, or switch off at the corresponding RCD
protective switch), and then unplug the power cable from the mains socket. Dispose of the faulty plug-in
charger in an environmentally friendly manner and discontinue use. Replace it with a power adapter of
the same design.
• The mains socket must be located in direct proximity to the product and should be easily accessible.
• Only use the power adapter that came with the product.
• The power adapter must never be plugged in or disconnected when your hands are wet.
• Never unplug the power unit from the mains socket by pulling on the cable; always use the grips on the
plug.
