IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using any electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be
followed including the following:
1. Please read the instructions carefully before using any appliance.
2. Always ensure that the voltage on the rating label corresponds to the mains
voltage in your home.
3. Incorrect operation and improper use can damage the appliance and cause
injury to the user.
4. The appliance is intended for household use only. Commercial use invalids the
warranty and the supplier cannot be held responsible for injury or damage
caused when using the appliance for any other purpose than that intended.
5. Avoid any contact with moving parts.
6. Close supervision is required when any appliance is used near or by children or
invalids.
7. Check the power cord and plug regularly for any damage. If the cord or the plug
is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified person in
order to avoid an electrical hazard.
8. Do not use the appliance if it has been dropped or damaged in any way. In
case of damage, take the unit in for examination and/or repair by an authorised
service agent.
9. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse or expose the motor
assembly, plug or the power cord to water or any other liquid.
10. Never immerse the unit in water or any other liquid for cleaning purposes.
11. Remove the plug from the socket by gripping the plug. Do not pull on the cord
to disconnect the appliance from the mains. Always unplug the unit when not in
use, before cleaning or when adding or removing parts.
12. The use of accessory attachments that are not recommended or supplied by
the manufacturer may result in injuries, fire or electric shock.
13. A short cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
14. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter. Ensure that the
cord is not in a position where it can be pulled on inadvertently.
15. Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces and do not place on or near a hot
gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
16. Do not use the appliance on a gas or electric cooking top or over or near an
open flame.
17. Use of an extension cord with this appliance is not recommended. However, if it
is necessary to use an extension lead, ensure that the lead is suited to the
power consumption of the appliance to avoid overheating of the extension cord,
