Place the appliance near a suitable wall power socket toconnect the appliance directly to a protected mains power supply with protective conductor(earth/ground) connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power sup-ply corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (220-240 V, 50/60 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 circuitis strongly recommended. If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information.In various foreign countries, the specifications for power supplies are subject to incompatiblenorms. Therefore it is possible that power supplies in foreign countries do not meet the requi-rements for safe operation of the appliance.
