Important safety
instructions
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 text by the following
two conventions:
WARNING: Danger to the
person!
IMPORTANT: Damage to the
appliance!
In addition we offer the following
essential safety advice.
Your safety
• Never touch the outer enclosure of
the appliance during its operation or
before it cools. Do not touch hot
surfaces. Use oven gloves or a cloth
when removing the lid or handling
hot containers as hot steam will
escape.
• To protect against fire, electric
shock and personal injury do not
immerse cord, plugs, or appliance in
water or other liquid.
• Unplug from the socket when not in
use, before putting on or taking off
attachments, and before cleaning.
• Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged lead or plug, or after an
appliance has malfunctioned, or has
