Important safety instructions
■ Save these instructions
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinance.
• Do not use an adapter this will defeat the grounding plug.
• If you don’t have the proper outlet, consult an electrician.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it does not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
■ Save these instructions
To minimize the risk of fire within the inner bowl, the following should be observed :
• Item the have been spotted or soaked with
vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard
and should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Oil-affected items can ignited spontaneously,
especially when exposed to heat sources such
as in atumble dryer. The items become warm,
causing ad oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation
creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the
items can become hot enough to catch fire.
Pilling, stacking or storing oil-affected items
can prevent heat from escaping and so created
a fire hazard. If it is unavoidable that fabrics
that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have
been contaminated by hair care productions
be placed in a tumble dryer they should first
be washed in hot water with extra detergentthis will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
The ‘ ’ cycle of tumble dryers should be used
to reduce the temperature of the items.
They should not be removed from the tumble
dryer or piled or stacked while hot.
• Items that have been previously cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in orspotted with petrol/
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other
flammable or explosive substances should not
be placed in a tumble dryer. Highly flammable
substances commonly used in domestic
environments include acetone,denatured alcohol,
petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot removers (some
brands),turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
