The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.d.)
with a maximum rated residual operating current of 30 mA in the supp-
lying electrical circuit is strongly recommended. 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 sup-
plies in foreign countries do not meet the requirements for safe opera-
tion of the appliance. Thus, before operating the appliance abroad,
ensure that safe operation is possible.
• Do not use any desk top multi socket outlet, external switching device, or
remote control systems, or extension cord to avoid risk of fire or electric
shock. Ensure that the power outlet socket used is always accessible for
unplugging the appliance immediately in case of malfunction or danger.
• The appliance may not be operated on metal surfaces (e.g. sink) to
avoid risk of electric shock. Do not touch the power cord or the appli-
ance with wet hands.
•
DO NOT
pour or spill any liquids on or under the housing of the appli-
ance or the power cord. Do not overfill the water tank (max.1.5 litres,
1500 ml). Otherwise, water could run out and cause hazards due to
overheating, fire and electric shock. Always wipe off spilled liquids
immediately. If liquids run out or are spilled in the housing, immediately
unplug the appliance. Do not immerse the appliance, power cord, or
power plug in water or other liquids. Do not place the appliance on
wet surfaces. When liquids overflowed or are spilled on the housing
or power cord or accumulate under the appliance, immediately unplug
the appliance. Thereafter, dry the appliance and let it dry naturally for
at least 1 day. If in doubt, carefully check the appliance for leakage.
• Always completely unwind the power cord before use. Power cords
may never be knotted, twisted, 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. Always keep
the power cord out of reach of young children. 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.
