Important safeguards for all electrical appliances

• Always operate the appliance near a suitable wall power outlet and connect the appli-

ance directly to the power outlet. Do not use any extension cords or a multiple desk outlet.
• Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply corresponds to the voltage

requirements of the appliance (220/230 V, 50/60 Hz). Always connect the appliance

directly to a mains power supply wall socket with protective conductor (earth/ground) con-

nected properly. The installation of a residual current safety switch with a maximum rated

residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly recom-

mended. If in doubt, contact your local electrician for further information.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended while connected to the power supply. Always

release the on/off button and immediately unplug the appliance after oper-

ation and if it is not in use (even for a short break) and before cleaning and/

or assembling or disassembling. Always grasp the plug to disconnect the appliance

from the power outlet.
• Always handle the power cord with care. Do not pull or strain the power cord. The power

cord may never be knotted or squeezed. Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of
