checked thoroughly for any defects. Should the appliance,

areas near the vent during or immediately after operation.

unless the appliance has cooled down suffi ciently and the
cooking insert is empty.
∙ Caution: Food may boil over as a result of overfi lling.

the power cord; always grip the plug itself.
