− When disconnecting the appliance from the outlet, always
pull on the plug rather than on the cord.
− Do not kink or crush the power cord.
− Ensure that the power cord is undamaged and does not
run underneath the appliance or over any hot surfaces or
sharp edges.
− Lay the power cord so that nobody is able to step on it or trip
over it.
− When the appliance provided with a fl exible cord less
4-1/2 feet (1.4m) in length, the extension cord should be
a groundling-type 3-wire cord and meet the following
requirements:
− a short power-supply cord should be used to reduce the
risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over
a longer cord
− longer extension cords are available maybe used if care is
exercised in their use.
− If a longer extension cord is used:
− the marked electrical rating of extension cord should
be as the electrical rating of the aplliance.
− the cord should be arranged so that it will not drape
over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
− Do not operate the appliance on wet surfaces or if you
have wet hands.
− Do not touch the plug with wet hands.
− Never use the appliance if it has been damaged or if the
power cord or plug show signs of damage.
− Immediately contact the service center in the event of a
fault or if you identify any transport damage.
− In order to reduce risks: have the power cord repaired
exclusively by a specialist workshop or contact your service
center.
− Never try to open and/or repair an appliance component
yourself.
