still hot. Also, ensure that the appliance will not fall over, when opening the lid. Always leave
the appliance cool down before removing the drip tray. Otherwise, hot liquids (fat, juices)

Important Safeguards for electrical appliances
The appliance is heated 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 16 A). The power outlet socket must be installed separately from other power outlet
sockets to avoid interference with other appliances.
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.
