• Make sure that the mains cable 5 is not
kinked or squashed.
• Make sure that the mains cable 5 is not
damaged on sharp edges.
• Keep the mains cable 5 away from hot
surfaces such as the top of a stove.
• Make sure that the mains cable 5 is not
touching the appliance or in the radiated
zone.
• Avoid using extension cables. An
extension cable may only be used under
very specific conditions:
– the extension cable must be suitable
for the current rating of the appliance;
– the extension cable must be routed
across surfaces or the floor (not
allowed to hang in mid air); ensure
the cable is out of the reach of
children and does not pose a tripping
hazard;
– never use a damaged extension cable;
– do not connect any other appliances
to the mains socket as this could
overload the mains supply (do not use
multi-sockets).
• The appliance must not be operated with
an external time switch or separate
remote control system, such as a wireless
remote control socket.
4.4 Protection against the danger of
fire
Warning! As the appliance works
at high temperatures, please
observe the following safety
information to prevent fire.
• While the appliance is operating, there
must be no flammable objects (e.g.
curtains, paper) in the immediate vicinity
of the appliance.
• Never use the appliance to dry textiles
or other items on, over or in front of the
appliance.
• The appliance gets very hot during
operation. Make sure that flammable
material cannot be blown into or onto
the appliance.
• To avoid overheating, the appliance must
never be covered.
• Only mount the appliance using the
supplied fastening bracket 10, to ensure
the necessary distance from the rear wall.
• Ensure sufficient distance from the wall
(min. 50 cm at the sides), ceiling (min. 20
cm), floor (min. 1.8 m), fixtures (min.
1 m) or other appliances (min. 1 m), to
prevent damage or the risk of fire.
• 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.
• Never leave the appliance running when
it is unattended. The presence of odour
is almost always an indication of
damage. If you notice any such odour,
unplug the mains plug immediately and
have the appliance inspected. The
contact data can be found in “Service
Centre” on page 11.
