General Safety Instructions
Electrical Safety and Cord Handling
• Voltage: Make sure your outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to the
voltage stated on the rating label before connecting the appliance to power.
• Do not immerse: To protect against fire and electric shock, never immerse the
cord, plug or the appliance itself in water or other liquid, or expose any of the
electrical connections to water. Only wipe the appliance with a damp cloth, if
required. If the appliance falls into or accidentally becomes immersed in water,
unplug it from the wall outlet immediately. Do not reach into the water!
• Protect the cord: Do not kink, bend, squash, strain or damage the power cord
and protect it from sharp edges and heat. Do not let the cord hang over the
edge of a table or benchtop. Do not let it touch hot surfaces. Ensure the cord is
fully extended before use and arrange it in such a way that there will be no risk
of anyone pulling it inadvertently or tripping over it. Never move, carry or hang
the product by the cord.
• No extension cord, no timer: Do not use the appliance with an extension cord,
plug adaptor, external timer or a separate remote control system.
• WARNING: Do not use if damaged! Do not pick up or operate the appliance if
the power supply cord, plug or housing is damaged. Do not use the appliance
after it malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Check the power
cord regularly for visible damage. A damaged cord or plug must be replaced by
appropriately qualified personnel in order to avoid a hazard. In case of damage,
unplug the machine and contact our after sales support centre for advice.
• Disconnect: Switch off and unplug the appliance from the power outlet when
not in use, before assembling or disassembling parts and before cleaning. Grip
the plug when disconnecting, do not pull on the cord.
• RCD: Unless your home is already fitted with a residual current device (safety
switch), we recommend installing an RCD with a rated residual operating
current not exceeding 30mA to provide additional safety protection when using
electrical appliances. See your electrician for professional advice.
