IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS 

 

When using any electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed 

including the following: 

 

1.  Please read the instructions carefully before using any appliance. 

2.  Always ensure that the voltage on the rating label corresponds to the mains voltage 

in your home. 

3.  Incorrect operation and improper use can damage the appliance and cause injury to 

the user. 

4.  The appliance is intended for household use only. Commercial use invalids the 

warranty and the supplier cannot be held responsible for injury or damage caused 

when using the appliance for any other purpose than that intended. 

5.  Avoid any contact with moving parts. 

6.  This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced 

physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, 

unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the 

appliance by a person responsible for their safety

.

 

7.  Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. 

8.  Check the power cord and plug regularly for any damage. If the cord or the plug is 

damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified person in order to 

avoid an electrical hazard. 

9.  Do not use the appliance if it leaks, has been dropped or damaged in any way. In 

case of damage, take the unit in for examination and/or repair by an authorised 

service agent 

10. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse or expose the motor/ electrical 

assembly, plug or the power cord to water or any other liquid. 

11. Never immerse the unit in water or any other liquid for cleaning purposes. 

12. Remove the plug from the socket by gripping the plug. Do not pull on the cord to 

disconnect the appliance from the mains. Always unplug the unit when not in use, 

before cleaning or when adding or removing parts. 

13. The use of accessory attachments that are not recommended or supplied by the 

manufacturer may result in injuries, fire or electric shock. 

14. A short cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in 

or tripping over a longer cord.
