even if you are familiar with this
type of product. The safety precautions enclosed herein reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and injury when correctly adhered to.
Keep the manual in a safe
place for future reference
, along with any completed warranty information,
purchase receipt and carton. If applicable, pass these instructions on to the next
owner of the appliance.
Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention measures
when using an electrical appliance, including the following:
Electrical Safety and Cord Handling
• Voltage:
Make sure your outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to
the voltage stated on the appliance rating label.
• Adaptors:
Do not use multiple electrical adaptors.
• Power cord:
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. We recommend
avoiding the use of an extension cord, but if one must be used, exercise
due care in its use. Ensure that the marked electrical rating of the cord is no
less than that of the appliance. Arrange the longer cord so that it does not
drape over the benchtop or tabletop where it is capable of being tripped over,
snagged, or pulled on unintentionally, especially by children.
• Cord protection:
Always handle the power cord with care. Do not kink,
bend, squash, strain or damage the power cord and protect it from sharp
edges and heat. Do not place the appliance on a power cord. Do not let it
touch hot surfaces (including the sealing strip of the appliance).
• Do not immerse:
To protect against fire and electric shock, do not immerse
the cord, plug or the appliance itself in water or other liquid. Do not pour or
drip any liquids on the appliance or power cord. When liquids are spilled on
the appliance, immediately unplug the appliance and dry it to avoid risk of
electric shock or fire. Do not attempt to operate the appliance when liquids
are on or in the electrical section of the appliance.
• RCD:
The installation of a residual current device (safety switch) is
recommended to provide additional safety protection when using electrical
appliances. It is advisable that a safety switch with a rated residual operating
current not exceeding 30mA be installed in the electrical circuit supplying the
appliance. See your electrician for professional advice.
