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 pro-
tective conductor (earth/ground) connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating
of your mains power supply corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appli-
ance (230 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 maxi-
mum 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 supplies in foreign countries
do not meet the requirements for safe operation of the appliance. Thus, before ope-
rating the appliance abroad, ensure that safe operation is possible.
• Do not to use any desk top multi socket outlet, external timer, or remote control
systems. It is best to avoid using an extension cord, but if you wish to use one,
only use an extension cord rated for a maximum continuous current of at least 16
A (1 mm² minimum core cross-section) with safety plug and safety coupler plug
and protective conductor (earth/ground) connected properly. Additionally, the
extension cord must be of sufficient length. When laying power cords, always
ensure that no one will step on the extension cord or get entangled or trip over
the power cords. Also, ensure that no tension is applied to any part of the power
cords. Tie the extension cord loosely onto the leg of the table using a separate
cord, to ensure that no one will pull the power cord. To connect: always connect
the appliance to the extension cord first. To disconnect: Always unplug the exten-
sion cord from the power supply first.
• Always handle power cords with care. The pins of the power plug must be smooth
and clean. Always completely unwind the power cord before use. 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 not touch hot surfaces or sharp
edges. Ensure that no one will pull the appliance by the power cord. Take care
not to entangle in the power cord. Always grasp the plug to disconnect the power
cord. Do not touch the appliance or power plug with wet hands when the appli-
ance is connected to the power supply.
• DO NOT drip or spill any liquids on the wok base, temperature control probe,
or power cord. Do not place the wok bowl on the wok base, when these parts
are wet. Otherwise liquid will evaporate during heat-up and could run into the
wok base, causing risk of electric shock or fire. When liquids overflowed or are
