®

 Appliance:

  Sunbeam is very safety conscious when  

designing and manufacturing consumer products, 
but it is essential that the product user also 
exercise care when using an electrical appliance. 
Listed below are precautions which are essential 
for the safe use of an electrical appliance:

•  Read carefully and save all the instructions 

provided with an appliance.

•  Always turn the power off at the power outlet 

before you insert or remove a plug. Remove  
by grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.

•  Turn the power off and remove the plug when 

the appliance is not in use and before cleaning.

•  Do not use your appliance with an extension 

cord unless this cord has been checked and 
tested by a qualified technician or service 
person.

•  Always use your appliance from a power  

outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked  
on the appliance.

•  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. 

•  Children should be supervised to ensure that 

they do not play with the appliance.

•  The temperature of accessible surfaces may be 

high when the appliance is operating.

•  Never leave an appliance unattended while  

in use.

•  Do not use an appliance for any purpose  

other than its intended use.

•  Do not place an appliance on or near a hot gas 

flame, electric element or on a heated oven. 

•  Do not place on top of any other appliance.
•  Do not let the power cord of an appliance hang 

over the edge of a table or bench top or touch 
any hot surface.

•  Do not operate any electrical appliance with 

a damaged cord or after the appliance has 
been damaged in any manner. If damage is 
suspected, return the appliance to the nearest 
Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre  
for examination, repair or adjustment. 

•  For additional protection, Sunbeam recommend 

the use of a residual current device (RCD) 
with a tripping current not exceeding 30mA in 
the electrical circuit supplying power to your 
appliances.

•  Do not immerse the appliance in water  

or any other liquid unless recommended.

•  Appliances are not intended to be operated  

by means of an external timer or separate 
remote control system.

•  This appliance is intended to be used in 

household and similar applications such 
as: staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and 
other working environments; farm houses; by 
clients in hotels, motels and other residential 
type environments; bed and breakfast type 
environments.

  If you have any concerns regarding the performance and use of your appliance,  

please visit www.sunbeam.com.au or contact the Sunbeam Consumer Service Line. 

  Ensure the above safety precautions are understood.
