not plug into an outlet until the
appliance is properly installed
and earthed.

This appliance must be earthed.
In the event of an electrical short
circuit, this reduces the risk
of electrical shock through an
appropriate current-carrying wire
discharging any static charge.
This appliance is supplied with
a moulded three pin mains plug

for your safety and convenience.
The plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly
installed and earthed. Consult

a qualied electrician or service

technician if the instructions are
not completely understood or to
ensure the appliance has been

properly earthed. If required, use

a 3-wire extension cord, only.

1. A short power-supply cord is
provided to reduce the risks of
entanglement or trippingover
a longer cord.

2. If a long cord set or
extension cord is used:

1) The marked electrical
rating of the cord set
orextension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance.

2) The extension cord must
be a earthed type 3-wire
cord.

3) The long cord should
never drape over the
counter-top or tabletop
where it can be pulled on
by children or tripped over
unintentionally.

DISPOSAL OF OLD
ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES

The European Directive 2002/96/EC on
Waste Electrical and Electronic

Equipment (WEEE), requires that old

household electrical appliances must

not be disposed of in the normal unsor­ted municipal waste stream.
Old appliances must be collected separately in or­der to optimise the recovery and recycling of the
materials they contain and reduce the impact on
human health and the environment.

The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the

product reminds you of your obligation, that when
you dispose of the appliance it must be separately
collected. Consumers should contact their local
authority or retailer for information concerning the
correct disposal of their old appliance.
