power cord must be kept
well away from children
under 8 at all times.

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

adverse effects on the operational safety
of the appliance. In this case, please
contact our customer service.
