If provided with a plug, connect the appliance to a socket located in an accessible area and complying with the current regulations. If it does not have a plug (direct connection to the power supply) or if the socket is not in an accessible place, fit a suitable double-pole switch that ensures complete disconnection from the power supply in category III overvoltage conditions, complying with the installation rules.
