Important safety instructions
Danger to certain categories of
persons
There is an increased risk of injury for
children and for people with reduced
capabilities:
∙ This product can be used by children
aged from 8 years and older and
persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or
lack of experience and knowledge
if they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of
the appliance in a safe way and
understand the hazards involved.
∙ Children must not be permitted to
carry out any cleaning or maintenance
work on the appliance unless they
are supervised and at least 8 years of
age.
∙ The appliance and its power cord must
be kept well away from children under
8 at all times.
∙ Children must not be permitted to play
with the appliance.
∙ Caution: Keep any packaging
materials well away from children –
these materials are a potential source
of danger, e.g. of suffocation.
Risk of electric shock
The device is powered by electricity,
and so there is always a risk of electric
shock. The following precautions are
therefore to be taken:
∙ Every time the appliance is used,
the main body including the power
cord as well as any attachment fitted
should be checked thoroughly for
any defects. Should the appliance,
for instance, have been dropped onto
a hard surface, or if excessive force
has been used to pull the power cord,
it must no longer be used: even
invisible damage may have adverse
effects on the operational safety of the
appliance.
∙ The appliance should only be
connected to a socket installed in
accordance with the regulations.
Make sure that the supply voltage
corresponds with the voltage marked
on the rating label.
∙ Always remove the plug from the wall
socket
- after use,
- in case of any malfunction,
- before cleaning the appliance.
∙ When removing the plug from the wall
socket, never pull on the power cord;
always grip the plug itself.
∙ Do not touch the plug with wet
hands.
∙ Warning! The electrical contact on
the base must be protected from any
splashing or overflowing water.
