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.
