Switch off the power point and pull out the plug af-
ter each use, before cleaning, assembling or dissem-
bling and during periods when the appliance is left un-
attended.
Always hold the plug to pull it out, never pull the cable.
Do not allow the mains cable to come into contact
with hot objects or surfaces (e.g. cooker hob).
Do not use if the appliance or the mains cable is visibly
damaged or if the appliance has been dropped.
Appliances connected to the mains during a thunder-
storm may be damaged by power surges. You should
therefore always unplug the plug during thundery
conditions.
Check the appliance and the mains cable for damage
before using the appliance for the first time, and after
each use.
Completely unwind the mains cable.
Do not kink or crush the mains cable.
Do not use the appliance if you notice that it, or its
power cable, is damaged.
Contact the Service Centre without delay if the appli-
ance has been damaged during transport.
Do not, under any circumstances, make any unauthor-
ised modifications to the appliance or try to open a
component and/or repair it yourself.
The mains cable should only be repaired by an author-
ised repair workshop. Otherwise, contact our Service
department, to avoid risks.
The appliance must not be submerged in water or
other liquids, nor exposed to running water or used
in damp environments, as this may result in an electric
shock.
