Important safeguards for electrical Appliances
The appliance is driven electrically. Place the appliance near a suitable wall power socket to
connect the appliance directly to a protected mains power supply with protective conductor
(earth/ground) connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply
corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (220-240 V, 50 Hz, AC, rated for
at least 10 A).
The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.) with a maximum rated
residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly recommen-
ded. If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information.
In various foreign countries, the specifications for power supplies are subject to incompatible
norms. Therefore it is possible that power supplies in foreign countries do not meet the requi-
rements for safe operation of the appliance. Thus, before operating the appliance abroad,
ensure that safe operation is possible.
• Do not to use any external timer, remote control systems, or desk top multi socket outlets.
It is best to avoid using extension cords, but if you wish to use one, only use an extension cord
rated for a maximum continuous current of at least 10 A (or 1500 W) with protective conduc-
tor (earth/ground) connected properly.
• Always handle power cords with care. Always completely unwind the power cord before
use. Do not place the appliance on a power cord. Power cords may never be knotted, twisted,
pulled, strained or squeezed. Do not let the plug or power cord hang over the edge of the
table or counter. The power cord may not touch hot surfaces or sharp edges. Ensure that no
one will pull the appliance by the power cord. Take care not to entangle in the power cord.
Always grasp the plug to disconnect the power cord. Do not touch the appliance or power
plug with wet hands when the appliance is connected to the power supply.
•
DO nOT let any liquids run down the exterior of the jug, when the jug is
mounted on the power base. Do not place the jug on the power base, when
the exterior of the jug is wet. Otherwise liquid could run into the power base.
When liquids are spilled on the power base or power cord, immediately unplug the appliance.
Thereafter, clean the appliance and let it dry for at least 1 day (see ‚Care and Cleaning’).
high Temperatures—risk of Burns
The Milk Frother is designed for frothing and heating milk, and therefore milk, jug, lid, and
measuring cup can get very hot during operation and shortly thereafter. Please keep this in
mind to avoid scalds and damage.
• Do not touch jug, lid and measuring cup of the appliance with your hands, arms or any
other parts or your body or any heat-sensitive or moisture-sensitive objects. Do not place the
jug on any heat-sensitive surfaces shortly after operation. Only touch the jug and lid at the
handles (e.g. handle of the jug, finger hole at the lid) during operation and shortly thereafter.
• Even with the lid properly closed, steam could escape from the lid during operation and
shortly thereafter. Condensate could accumulate under the lid and measuring cup and drip,
when pouring out the contents of the jug, or when opening the lid.
• Do not cook any high-proof alcoholic liquid or alcoholic foodstuffs (e.g. mulled wine,
grog) within the appliance to avoid risk of explosion and fire.
