SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - Electricity and heat

Certain parts of the appliance may get hot. Not touch these parts to prevent burning yourself.

• Verify that the mains voltage is the same as that indicated on the type plate on the appliance before use.
• Plug the appliance only into an earthed wall socket.
  • Always remove the plug from the socket when the appliance is not in use.
  • Always remove the plug from the wall socket by pulling on the plug, not the power cord.

• When using an extension lead always make sure that the entire cable is unwound from the reel.
  • Use solely approved extension leads.
  • Certain parts of the appliance can become hot. Do not touch them, as you may burn yourself.
