IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The use of any electrical appliance requires the following 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 safety advice.

•To protect against the risk of electrical shock do not put base in water or in any other liquid.

•Do not touch hot surfaces. Use oven gloves or a cloth when removing lid or handling hot containers.

•Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot food, water, or other hot liquids.

•This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

•Teach children to be aware of dangers in the kitchen, warn them of the dangers of reaching up to areas where they cannot see properly or should not be reaching.

•Children are vulnerable in the kitchen, particularly when unsupervised and if appliances are being used or cooking is being carried out.

•Never allow a child to operate this appliance.
