To avoid unnecessary mistakes and acci-
dents, it is important to ensure that all peo-
ple using the appliance are thoroughly fa-
miliar with its operation and safety features.
Save these instructions and make sure that
they remain with the appliance if it is moved

Children and vulnerable people safety
• This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced

• If you are discarding the appliance pull
the plug out of the socket, cut the con-

• If this appliance featuring magnetic door
seals is to replace an older appliance
having a spring lock (latch) on the door or
