• Never insert fingers or any objects
through the protective guards into the
inside of the appliance.
• Never touch the appliance, the mains
cord or the mains plug with moist hands.
• Always pull the mains cord out by the
plug. Never pull it by the cord itself.
• Ensure that the mains cable is not
kinked, twisted or crushed.
• Ensure that the mains cable is not
damaged on sharp edges.
• Keep the mains cord away from hot
surfaces (such as stove eyes).
• If you are not using the appliance for a
prolonged period of time, remove the

particular conditions:
–The extension cord has to be suited for
the appliance's amperage.
–The extension cord must not be
installed "loose": it must not be
possible to trip over it or within the
reach of children.
–The extension cord must not by any
means be damaged.

of the power supply network could occur
(multiple sockets are not allowed!).
• The appliance must not be operated with
an external time switch or separate
remote control system, such as a wireless
remote control socket.

of the appliance.
• Never use the appliance to dry textiles
or other items on, over or in front of the
appliance.
• To avoid overheating, the appliance must
never be covered.

a minimum distance of 1.5 m from other
appliances and the wall.
• Never operate the appliance in rooms
where there is a risk of explosion or in the
vicinity of flammable gases or liquids.
• The appliance must never be placed
immediately beneath a wall socket, as
the heat it generates could damage the
electrical installation.
• Always check that air can freely enter
and escape. Heat might otherwise build
up inside the appliance.
• Clean the dust filter
