■
Do not operate or continue to oper-
ate the appliance, if it
–
shows visible signs of damage, e.g.
the mains cable is defective,
–
starts smoking or there is a smell of
burning,
–
makes unfamiliar noises.
In such cases, remove the mains plug

contact gap of at least 3 mm; this in-
cludes fuses, circuit breakers and con-
tactors.
