The use of any electrical appliance
requires the following of basic common
sense safety rules.
Primarily there is danger of injury or
death and secondly the danger of damage
to the appliance. These are indicated in the

The mains lead should reach without
straining the connections.
•
Do not let the mains lead hang over the
edge of a worktop where a child could
reach it.

Do not let the lead run across an open
space e.g. between a low socket and
table.
•
Do not let the lead run across a cooker
or toaster or other hot area which might

electric shock and personal injury
do not immerse cord, plug or mixer
in water or other liquid.
•
Unplug from outlet when not in use,
before cleaning, removing or attaching
parts. To disconnect, turn off, grasp plug
and unplug from wall. Never pull on the
cord.
•
Avoid contact with moving parts. Keep
hands, hair, clothing as well as spatulas
and other utensils away from the beater,
whisk or dough hook during operation to
prevent injury or damage to the mixer.
•
Don’t let rotating blades touch the mains
cable.
•
