To ensure safe operation, the device may only be op- erated in accordance with the information in these operating instructions. Please carefully follow all infor- mation provided in these instructions. ATTENTION! This device can be used by children aged 8 and over and by persons with limited physi- cal, sensory or mental aptitude, providing they are supervised or have been instructed in the safe use of the device and understand the associated potential dangers. Children must not play with the device. Cleaning and user maintenance may not be carried out by children without supervision. ATTENTION! Children younger than 3 years of age must be kept away unless they are supervised constantly. ATTENTION!
