WARNING – Danger of Injury
• Keep children and animals away from plastic bags and films. There is a danger of
suffocation.
• Make sure that the cord is always kept out of the reach of small children and animals.
There is a danger of strangulation.
• Make sure that the connected cord does not present a trip hazard. The cord must not
hang down from the surface on which the appliance is placed in order to prevent the
appliance from being pulled down.
• Take care when opening the door! There is a danger of scalding from hot steam.
NOTICE – Risk of Damage to Material and Property
• The appliance should only be connected to a properly installed outlet. The outlet must
be readily accessible so that the connection to the mains can quickly be isolated. The
mains voltage must match the technical data of the appliance.
• Unwind the cord fully before connecting to the appliance.
• Remove the mains plug if a fault occurs during operation. Otherwise always switch off
the appliance first before the mains plug is pulled out of the outlet.
• Always pull the mains plug and never the cord when disconnecting the appliance from
the mains power. Do not pull or carry the appliance by the cord.
• Always check the appliance for damage before putting it into operation. The appliance
should only be used when it is undamaged, and in working order! Do not use the
appliance if it has malfunctioned, fallen or been dropped in water. Have it checked in a
specialist workshop before using it again.
• Always place the appliance on a dry, even, firm and heat-resistant surface. Never place
the appliance on a soft surface. The ventilation slots on the bottom of the appliance
must not be covered. Otherwise it could overheat and be damaged.
• Do not place the appliance on or next to heat sources such as hobs or ovens. Keep open
flames, e.g. burning candles, away from the appliance and the cord.
• Do not expose the appliance to extreme temperatures, persistent moisture, direct
sunlight or impacts.
• Make sure that the cord is not squashed, bent or laid over sharp edges and does not
come into contact with hot surfaces (e.g. of the appliance).
• Never place objects on the appliance or the cord.
• Use only original accessories from the manufacturer in order to guarantee that there is no
interference that may prevent the appliance from working and to avoid possible damage.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the
risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Longer extension cords are available, but care must be exercised in their use. While
use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, ensure that the
marked electrical rating of the extension cord is equal to or greater than that of the
appliance. If the plug is of the grounded type, the extension cord must be a grounding-
type 3-wire cord. To avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement, position the extension cord
so that it does not hang over the edge of the counter, table or other area where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped over.
• Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or extension
cord feels hot.
• For household use only.
