Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
Sunbeam are very safety conscious when
designing and manufacturing consumer products, but it is essential that the product user
also exercise care when using an electrical
appliance. Listed below are precautions which
are essential for the safe use of an electrical
appliance:
Read carefully and save all the instructions
•
provided with an appliance.
Always turn the power off at the power outlet
•
before you insert or remove a plug. Remove by
grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.
Turn the power off and remove the plug when
•
the appliance is not in use and before cleaning.
Do not use your appliance with an extension
•
cord unless this cord has been checked and
tested by a qualifi ed technician or service
person.
Always use your appliance from a power
•
outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked on the
appliance.
Close supervision is necessary when your
•
appliance is being used near children or infi rm
persons.
Never leave an appliance unattended while in
•
use.
Young children should be supervised to ensure
•
that they do not play with the appliance.
Do not use an appliance for any purpose other
•
than its intended use.
Do not place an appliance on or near a hot gas
•
fl ame, electric element or on a heated oven. Do
not place on top of any other appliance.
Do not let the power cord of an appliance hang
•
over the edge of a table or bench top or touch
any hot surface.
•
For safety reasons and to avoid maintenance
by unskilled persons, some appliances are
‘sealed’ using tamperproof screws. Such
appliances should always be returned to the
nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre for
adjustment or repair if required.
Do not operate any electrical appliance with a
•
damaged cord or after the appliance has been
dropped or damaged in any manner. If damage
is suspected, return the appliance to the
nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre for
examination, repair or adjustment.
For additional protection, Sunbeam recommend
•
the use of a residual current device (RCD)
with a tripping current not exceeding 30mA in
the electrical circuit supplying power to your
appliances.
Do not immerse the appliance in water or any
•
other liquid.
If you have any concerns regarding the performance and use of your appliance,
please visit www.sunbeam.com.au or contact the Sunbeam Consumer Service Line.
Ensure the above safety precautions are understood.
