Never touch the plug with wet hands. Do not operate the appliance outdoors or in rooms with a
high level of humidity.
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 stated on the type plate
matches the voltage of your plug socket.
Always check the power cord for possible damage before using the appliance.
Never carry the appliance by its power cord. It could be damaged.
Before you clean or maintain the appliance, switch off the appliance and pull the mains plug
from the socket. Always pull directly on the plug when you disconnect the appliance from the
