3- USE OF THE APPLIANCE IN A BATHROOM
(drip proof appliance)
This “IP21” appliance is designed for use in any room of the house, including
those where there is a risk of vertical drop of water (kitchen, bathroom, etc…).
The electrical installation of the room, the installation of the appliance and its
use should, however, conform to current standards in your own country.
In France, the NFC 15100 electric standard defines the safety installation rules.
They define four volumes in the bathroom (see diagram). This unit must only
be installed in volume 3 of the room so that the selector buttons A & B (fig. 3)
cannot be touched by anyone using the bathroom or the shower.
