Gastroback 42518 Design Rice Cooker Pro - Manual (Page 6)

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 circuit is strongly re-
commended. If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information. In various foreign
countries, the specifications for power supplies are subject to incompatible norms. Therefore
it is possible that power supplies in foreign countries do not meet the requirements for safe
operation of the appliance. Thus, before operating the appliance abroad, ensure that safe
operation is possible.
• Do not to use any extension cords or multisocket outlets.
• Always handle the power cord with care. Always completely unwind the power cord be-
fore use. Do not place the appliance on a power cord. Power cords may never be knotted,
twisted, pulled, strained or squeezed. Do not let the plug or power cord hang over the edge
of the table or counter. The power cord may not touch hot surfaces. Ensure that no one will
pull the appliance by the power cord. Take care not to entangle in the power cord. Always
grasp the plug to disconnect the power cord. Do not touch the power plug with wet hands
when the appliance is connected to the power supply.
• Do not place or immerse the appliance or the power cord in water or any other liquid. Do
not spill or drip any liquids on the power cord or exterior of the appliance. When liquids are
spilled on the appliance or power cord, immediately switch off and unplug the appliance.
High Temperatures – Risk of Burns
The multicooker is designed for cooking and heating a variety of foods and, therefore, the
interior of the appliance will get very hot during operation.
• Because pot, lid and interior of the appliance are very hot during operation and shortly
thereafter, do not touch these parts with your hands, arms or any other parts or your body or
any heat- or moisture-sensitive objects. Do not place the pot on any heat-sensitive surfaces,
shortly after operation. If required, protect your hands and arms with pot holders or oven
gloves.
• Always position steam vent on lid away from yourself to avoid scalding from escaping
steam.
• Even with the lid properly closed, steam will escape from the pot seam and steam vent
during operation and shortly thereafter. During operation and immediately thereafter do not
hold your hands, arms or face over the appliance to avoid scalds caused by steam escaping
from the steam vent in the glass lid. In the steam vent and at the interior of the lid condensate
could accumulate and drip and, additionally, large amounts of steam could escape from
under the lid, when opening the lid. When opening the appliance, keep a sufficient distance
to avoid scalds.
• Do not cook any high-proof alcoholic liquor or alcoholic foodstuffs (e.g.
mulled wine, grog) within the appliance to avoid risk of explosion and fire.
