• Do not to use any desk top multi socket outlet or extension cord. To avoid an une-
xpected start of the motor, do not use any external timer, or remote control systems.
• Always handle power cords with care. The pins of the power plug must be smooth
and clean. Always completely unwind the power cord before use. Do not place the

the appliance or power plug with wet hands with the appliance connected to the
power supply.

are completely dry, before assembling the appliance, to avoid risk of electric shock
or fire. DO NOT drip or spill any liquids on the motor base or power cord. When
liquids overflowed, run out or are spilled on the motor base or power cord, immedi-
ately unplug the appliance. Thereafter, clean the appliance and let it dry for at least
1 day (see: ‘Care and Cleaning’).
