Safeguards for Daily Operation
• Do not attempt to operate the appliance using any parts or accessories not
recommended by the manufacturer. Do not operate the appliance, when the
appliance or any part of it is likely to be damaged, to avoid risk of fire, electric
shock or any other damage or injuries to persons. Do not attempt to open the
appliance housing or to repair the power cord. Check the entire appliance
regularly for proper operation. The appliance is likely to be damaged if the
appliance is subject to inadmissible strain (i.e. overheating, mechanical or electric
shock) or if there are any cracks, excessively frayed parts or distortions. In this case,
immediately unplug the appliance and return the entire appliance (including all
parts and accessories) to an authorised service centre for examination and repair.
• Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near young children.
Do not let young children play with any parts of the appliance or the packing. The
appliance is NOT intended for use by children or infirm persons without supervision.
Take care that no one pulls the appliance by the power cord, especially when young
children are near. Place the appliance on a clean, dry and stable surface where it
is protected from inadmissible strain (i.e. mechanical or electric shock, overheating,
frost, moisture) and where young children cannot reach it.
•
Do not place damageable or precious objects near the appliance while operating
to avoid damage by grease spilling.
•
Do not place the appliance near the edge of the surface or on inclined or touching
wet surface or where it can fall.
• During operation keep the appliance in an appropriate distance of at least 20
cm on each side and 1 m on top to furniture, walls, boards, curtains and other
objects for the air to circulate. Do not place any cloth or tissue beneath or on the
appliance, to avoid any risk of fire, electric shock and overheating.
• Always keep the table or counter clean and dry and immediately wipe off spilled
liquids. Do not place the appliance near the edge of the table or counter or on
inclined or wet surfaces or where it can fall.
