• Children should be
supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the
appliance.

Scalds

• Run cold water over the
affected area immediately. Do
not stop to remove clothing.
Seek medical help
immediately.

Mains cable

• The mains cable should reach
from the socket to the base
unit without straining the
connections.

• Do not let the cable hang
over the edge of the table or
the counter and keep it away
from any hot surface.

• Do not let the cable run
across an open space e.g.
between a lower socket and

Check that the voltage on the
rating plate of your appliance
corresponds with your house
electricity supply which must
be A.C. (Alternating Current).

If the socket outlets in your
home are not suitable for the
plug supplied with this
appliance, the plug should be
removed and the appropriate
one fitted.

WARNING: The plug
removed from the mains
cable, if severed must be
