operation. power cords must not come into contact with any
sources of heat or damp. Otherwise there is a danger of the
power cord getting damaged which could lead to an electric
shock.

the appliance from the mains. Never pull on the power cord.

aged.

care that the power cord is not bent, pinched, or rolled over
and ensure it does not come into contact with heat sources.
