Judging by similar "operating instructions" that accompanied
various electronic devices I've purchased, my guess would be
Japanese (as run through some "translation" program like
"Babelfish".)

Not "respectful" enough to be Japanese. They'd have more profuse

We have a winner. It's possible that the author was a native speaker of
another language, but the sign was in a German hotel.
