by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the appliance safely.

• To protect against the risk of electric shock, DO NOT IMMERSE the unit, cord, or plug in water or spray any other liquid.
• Unplug the appliance from the plug socket when not in use, when moving from one location to another and before
cleaning.

any manner.
• The use of attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may be hazardous.
• Place the unit on a dry level surface.
• Do not operate if the housing is removed or damaged.
• A loose fit between the AC outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and a distortion of the plug. Contact a
qualified electrician to replace loose or worn outlet.
• Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.).

avoid proximity to open fires and heat sources of all kinds. The room in which the appliance is located should be
ventilated for a few minutes.
• Never use an appliance with a damaged circuit.
• Ensure that the ventilation openings to and from a built-in appliance are never blocked or covered. No liability will be
accepted for any damage incurred owing to misuse of the appliance or as a result of repairs carried out by unqualified

other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
