WARNING
In order to ensure correct
function
of
the
electric
motor, a small quantity of
grease is added during the
manufacturing process. As
grease can melt at high
temperatures, it may dirty
the motor. However, it can
simply be wiped off with a
piece of kitchen paper or a
napkin. The grease used is
neither toxic nor hazardous.
