IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
The appliance is operated electrically. Place the appliance near a sui-
table wall power outlet to connect the appliance directly to a protected
mains power supply with protective conductor (earth/ground) connected
properly. Ensure that the ratings of your mains power supply correspond
to the requirements of the appliance (220 - 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz, rated
for at least 8 A). The installation of a residual current operated circuit brea-
ker (r.c.c.b.) with a maximum rated residual operating current of 30 mA
in the supplying 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 timer, remote
control system, or extension cord. The power outlet must always be
easily accessible for unplugging the appliance immediately in case
of any malfunction or danger.
• Always handle power cords with care. The pins of the power plug
must be smooth, dry, and clean without discolourations.
Do not
attempt to operate the appliance with the power cord damaged in
any way to avoid risk of overheating, fire, and electric shock.
If the
power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an authorised service
centre in order to avoid risk of electric shock, overheating, and fire.
• 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 never touch hot surfaces, sharp edges, or any moving parts.
Ensure that no one pulls the appliance by the power cord or entangles
in the power cord. Always grasp the plug to disconnect the power
cord.
Do not touch the appliance or power plug with wet hands,
while the appliance is connected to the power supply.
• To avoid that liquids run onto the motor base causing electric shock,
