Important Safeguards for Electrical Appliances

The appliance is heated electrically. Place the appliance near a suitable wall power socket to connect the appliance directly to a protected mains power supply with protective conductor (earth / ground) connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (220 - 240 V, 50 Hz, AC, rated for at least 8 A).

The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.) with a maximum rated residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly recommended. If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information. In various foreign countries, the specifications for power supplies are subject to incompatible norms. Therefore it is possible that power supplies in foreign countries do not meet the requirements for safe operation of

the appliance. Thus, before operating the appliance abroad, ensure that safe operation is possible.

• Do not to use any extension cords or multisocket outlets.
• Always handle the power cord with care. Always completely unwind the power cord before use. Do not place the appliance on a power cord. Power cords may never be knotted, twisted, pulled, strained or squeezed. Do not let the plug or power cord hang over the edge of the table or counter. The power cord may not touch hot surfaces. Ensure that no one will pull the appliance by the power cord. Take care not to entangle in the power cord. Always grasp the plug to disconnect the power cord. Do not touch the power plug with wet hands when the appliance is connected to the power supply.
• Do not place or immerse the appliance or the power cord in water or any other liquid. Do not spill or drip any liquids on the power cord or exterior of the appliance. When liquids are spilled on the appliance or power cord, immediately switch off and unplug the appliance.

High Temperatures – Risk of Burns

The multicook is designed for cooking and heating a variety of foods and, therefore, the interior of the appliance will get very hot during operation.

- Because inner pot, lid and interior of the appliance are very hot during operation and shortly thereafter, do not touch these parts with your hands, arms or any other

parts or your body or any heat- or moisture-sensitive objects. Do not place the pot on any heat-sensitive surfaces, shortly after operation. If required, protect your hands and arms with pot holders or oven gloves.

- Even with the lid properly closed, steam will escape from the steam vent during operation and shortly thereafter. During operation and immediately thereafter do not hold your hands, arms or face over the appliance to avoid scalds caused by steam escaping from the steam vent in the lid. In the steam vent and at the interior of the lid condensate could accumulate and drip and, additionally, large amounts of steam could escape from under the lid, when opening the lid. When opening the appliance, keep a sufficient distance to avoid scalds.

Non-stick Coating

The inner pot of your multicook is provided with a non-stick coating. Do not use hard or sharp objects for scratching, mixing or cutting on the coatings. Do not use the inner pot as a mixing bowl. Always remove your foods from the pot, before mixing or cutting. We will not be liable for damage to the non-stick coating, if metal utensils or similar objects have been used.

Please adhere to the following precautions:

• Do not use the inner pot with the non-stick coating being scratched, cracked or detached due to overheating.
• Only use wooden or heat-resistant plastic cooking utensils to stir and serve the food. Do not use any spray-on non-stick coatings.
• The non-stick surface minimises the effort of cleaning. Do not use abrasive scourers or abrasive cleaners for cleaning. Even stubborn residues can be removed via a soft sponge or soft nylon brush and warm dishwater.
