Dear Customer,
All electrical and mechanical equipment needs to be cared
for appropriately. It’s important to note that using or storing
the appliance in certain conditions may adversely affect its
lifespan and functionality. Always protect the appliance from
the conditions listed below.
Using or storing the appliance in a wet, humid or damp
environment can cause:
– deterioration and premature aging of the cover and electric
insulation of the appliance,
– premature wearing and aging of the plastic and rubber
components,
– rust and corrosion affecting electrical components and metal
parts.
Using the appliance in a dusty environment or in the kitchen
(where the air may be contaminated with vapors from cooking
oil or grease) can cause:
– greasy dust coatings on the mechanical and electrical
elements and the casing of the appliance, which could result
in electrical contact failure or even complete breakdown, and
could also damage the plastic and rubber elements.
The effects of direct sunlight on the appliance can include:
– accelerated deterioration of the appliance casing and its
plastic and rubber components, damage to strength and other
structural features. The appliance’s surface may become
porous and fragile, which may result in a safety risk.
Storing the appliance in cold or frosty environment may cause:
– damage to the plastic and rubber components; if they become
fragile, this may result in a safety risk,
– oxidation resulting from condensation, and corrosion of the
metal components.
Direct and indirect heat (e.g. being too close to an oven or
a heating appliance) can cause:
– damage, deformation, softening or melting of plastic
or rubber parts and casing elements, or deterioration of
electrical insulation.
Following the operating instructions and avoiding any of the
conditions listed above will help you increase the lifespan of the
appliance. The manufacturer is not responsible if the appliance
is stored inappropriately or contrary to these instructions.
You are recommended to have the appliance serviced regularly
by an authorised engineer to keep it working for as long as
possible.
