• Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children less than 8 years of
age.
• Do not use the appliance if it has fallen on the floor, if there are visible signs of
damage or if it has a leak.
• This symbol means that surface could get hot during the use.
• The temperature of the accessible surfaces may be high when the appliance is
in use.

appliance to an authorized technical support service. To avoid hazards, do not
attempt to disassemble or repair the appliance by yourself.

from the mains to prevent the possibility of an electric shock.
