Important Safeguards for Electrical Appliances
The appliance is heated electrically. Place the appliance near a suitable wall power socket
to connect the appliance directly to a protected mains power supply with protective conduc-
tor (earth/ground) connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power
supply corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (230 V, 50 Hz, AC, rated
for at least 8 A).
The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.) with a maximum rated
residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly recommen-
ded. If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information.
