Concerning certain groups of persons
These appliances can be used by children of 8 years and upwards and per-
sons with impaired physical, sensory or mental abilities, or insufficient expe-
rience or knowledge, providing they are supervised or have been instructed
in the proper use of the appliance and understand the risks involved.
Children are not permitted to play with the appliance. Children must not
be allowed to stand or sit on the appliance. Children must not carry out
cleaning tasks or maintenance unless they are supervised.
As the manufacturer, we strongly advise against children of any age us-
ing the appliance, for safety reasons. Children, regardless of age, will not
fully recognize or understand the risks posed by this appliance. Keep the
appliance out of reach of people of these groups.
Packing material must not be used to play with. There is danger of suf-
focation.
1.3
Concerning the power supply
The appliance is operated with electrical power which means there is al-
ways a risk of electric shock. Consequently, particularly comply with the fol-
lowing instructions:
Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids. Never touch the
plug with wet hands.
Always pull directly on the plug if you want to disconnect the appliance
from the mains. Never pull on the cable as this could damage it. Never car-
ry the appliance by its power cord. It could be damaged.
Take care that the power cord is not kinked, pinched, or rolled over and
ensure it does not come into contact with heat sources. Also take care that
it does not become a stumbling hazard.
Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that the voltage stat-
ed on the type plate matches the voltage of your plug socket. Only use
sockets with a ground/safety contact.
If possible, do not use extension cords. If you must use an extension
cord, use only safety-certified, water-protected single extension cords (no
multi-socket distributors) designed for the power consumption of the appli-
ance.
Always check the power cord for possible damage before using the ap-
pliance.
Before you clean or maintain the appliance, switch off the appliance
and pull the mains plug from the socket.
