Double-check to make sure that the voltage rating on the
identification label of the device is congruent with the mains
voltage of your specific region. Plug the device only into a
properly grounded socket with an output rating of at least 6A
(if you are using a fault protection switch plate (rCD), please
ask an electrician for advice). While the device is in operation,
the socket must be easily accessible in the event of an emer-
gency. the manufacturer shall not assume any liability for
accidents resulting from deficient or non-existing grounding.

this could damage the anti-stick coating. Always use plastic
or wooden spoons/tools.
An extension cord can be used with this device provided the
applicable precautions are taken.
if you are planning to use an extension cord, make sure
that the electrical indices of the extension cord are at least
the same as those of the device. if the device is grounded,
the extension cord must be three-prong and grounded. the
longer cord must be positioned in such a manner that it does
not hang down over the edge of a table or of a work surface.

does not create a stumbling/tripping hazard unintentionally.

ance has cooled down.
You may detect a slight odor in the air when the device is
heating up the first time. this is a normal occurrence when
the components are heated up for the first time.
