possible damage that could arise. If
not properly repaired, the user may
be exposed to serious danger, for
which the manufacturer cannot be
held liable.
If the power supply cable is
damaged, it must be replaced by
an authorized technician in order to
avoid any possible danger.
In the event of faults, prolonged
absences or to clean the appliance,
disconnect it from the electrical
mains.
The appliance is considered to be
disconnected from the mains when:
• The power cable is unplugged
from the socket.
• The central switch has been
turned off.
