摘要

The appliance has an electrical component (101) and a V-shaped or U-shaped protected surface that are included in the appliance. A hydrophobic, water-resistant material (103) conducts away water (109) above the electrical component and the protected surface. The hydrophobic, water-repelling material is attached at the appliance by an adhesive strip (105). The hydrophobic, water-repelling material is arranged at a side wall (107). The hydrophobic, water-repelling material is arranged above an aperture for a power source cable of the appliance.
