Do not expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing, and ensure that
no objects lled with water, such as vases, are placed on the apparatus.
L’appareil ne doit pas être exposé aux écoulements ou aux éclaboussures et aucun
objet ne contenant de liquide, tel qu’un vase, ne doit être placé sur l’objet.
The mains plug is used as the disconnect device and it should remain
readily accessible during intended use. In order to isolate the apparatus
from the mains, the mains plug should be completely removed from
the mains outlet socket.
La prise du secteur ne doit pas être obstruée ou doit être facilement accessible
pendant son utilisation. Pour être complètement déconnecté de l’alimentation
d’entrée, la prise doit être débranchée du secteur.
Terminals marked with the symbol may use Class 2 Wiring, but
voltages at these terminals may be of sufcient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock. The external wiring connected to
these terminals requires installation by an instructed person or the use
of pre-made leads or cords.
