using the appliance, read this user manual
carefully, including its hints and warnings.
To avoid unnecessary mistakes and accidents, it is important to ensure that all people using the appliance are thoroughly familiar with its operation and safety features.

CHILDREN AND VULNERABLE
PEOPLE SAFETY
• This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,

the plug out of the socket, cut the connection cable (as close to the appliance
as you can) and remove the door to prevent playing children to suffer electric
shock or to close themselves into it.
• If this appliance featuring magnetic door
seals is to replace an older appliance
having a spring lock (latch) on the door
or lid, be sure to make that spring lock
unusable before you discard the old appliance. This will prevent it from becoming a death trap for a child.
