Do not use the unit near water. Do not expose it to a humid environment. Do not spill any liquid over the unit.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
Do not block or cover any ventilation slots in the housing - they guarantee the reliable functioning of the unit and protect
it against overheating. Do not install the unit into a frame unless sufficient ventilation is guaranteed. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not insert any objects through the slots of the unit, as these could get in contact with live parts or could cause short
circuits. This may cause a fire and an electric shock.
Do not place the unit on unstable surfaces. It may fall and get damaged.
Do not place any objects on the power cord. Protect it from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs and the
point where they exit from the apparatus.
If using an extension cord, make sure the rated output of all units connected in aggregate does not exceed the maximum
rated output of the extension cord. The rated output of the units plugged into the socket should in aggregate not exceed
10 amperes.
If the power cord or the mains plug is damaged, let a qualified technician replace it immediately.
Only use power cords which are marked as safety-proof.
All service work should be exclusively performed by qualified service technicians.
