● N'utilisez pas un panier endommagé ou non compatible.

(De façon à éviter toute brûlure ou blessure due à une surchauffe ou à un dysfonctionnement.)

● N’utilisez pas l’appareil dans les endroits suivants.

• À proximité d'une source de chaleur ou dans des environnements à humidité élevée. (Afin de ne pas causer un choc électrique, une fuite de courant ou un incendie.)

• Sur une surface irrégulière ou sur un tapis non-résistant à la chaleur. (Afin d'éviter toute brûlure, blessure ou un incendie.)

• Dans des emplacements à proximité d'un mur ou d'un meuble, etc. (De façon à éviter tout heurt en ouvrant le couvercle, ou de causer une décoloration, une déformation ou une

cassure du meuble.)

• Sur une plaque en aluminium ou une couverture chauffante électronique. (Les matériaux en aluminium risquent de générer de la chaleur causant de la fumée ou un incendie.)

● Ne déplacez pas le boîtier principal de l’appareil en cours d'utilisation. Mettre hors tension et débrancher avant le nettoyage, le transport ou le stockage.

(De façon à éviter toute brûlure causée par l'ouverture du couvercle en touchant le bouton d’ouverture.)

● Ne touchez pas aux éléments chauffants pendant l’utilisation de l’appareil ou après la cuisson.

•Le boîtier principal a une température élevée. Particulièrement le panneau vitré du couvercle et les

pièces en métal telles que le couvercle intérieur et le panier. (De façon à éviter toute brûlure.)

● N’exposez pas la fiche d’alimentation à la vapeur.

(Afin de ne pas causer un choc électrique, ou un incendie dû à un court-circuit.) →Lors de l’utilisation d’un meuble équipé d’une table coulissante, utilisez l’appareil à

un endroit où la fiche d’alimentation n’est pas exposée à la vapeur.

● Ne laissez pas l'appareil fonctionner à vide.

(De façon à éviter toute brûlure.)

● Veillez à saisir la fiche d'alimentation lorsque vous débranchez cette dernière ou la fiche du cuiseur. Ne tirez pas sur le cordon d'alimentation.

(Afin de ne pas causer un choc électrique, ou un incendie dû à un court-circuit.)

● Avant de retirer le panier ou lorsque le panier n'est pas en cours d'utilisation, coupez l'alimentation et débranchez la fiche d’alimentation.

(Afin de ne pas causer de brûlures, de blessures, de choc électrique, de fuite ou d'incendie dû au

vieillissement de l'isolation.)

● Attendez que le boîtier principal soit suffisamment froid avant le nettoyage.

(De façon à éviter toute brûlure.)

● En cas d'utilisation dans un placard ou dans d'autres espaces clos, assurez-vous que la vapeur peut sortir vers l'extérieur.

(De façon à ne pas causer une décoloration ou une déformation du placard.)

Y compris débranchement de la fiche d’alimentation, déclenchement du disjoncteur, etc.

● Lorsqu'une coupure de courant momentanée se produit, l'appareil revient à l'état précédant la coupure.

● Si la coupure de courant se prolonge plus longtemps, voici ce qui se produit en remettant sous tension.

Durant la cuisson: Prolongement de la cuisson. Lors du maintien au chaud: Prolongement du maintien au chaud.

L'effet de cuisson risque d'être affecté.

● Cet appareil utilise une technologie de cuisson à induction qui génère un champ électrique pouvant affecter certains matériaux médicaux, y compris les simulateurs cardiaques.

• Consulter votre médecin avant l’utilisation.

• Maintenir une distance minimum d'environ 20 pouces (50 cm) afin de réduire ou de prévenir les interférences.

(Ce produit peut avoir un impact sur le stimulateur cardiaque lorsqu'il fonctionne.)
