2. Viktig sikkerhetsinformasjon

Ved bruk av elektriske apparater bør grunnleggende sikkerhetstiltak alltid følges, inkludert:

• Les alle instruksjonene før bruk.
• Ikke berør varme overflater. Bruk håndtak eller knotter.
• For å beskytte mot elektrisk støt, må du ikke senke ledningen, støpsler eller apparatet ned i vann eller annen væske.
• Nøye tilsyn er nødvendig når et apparat brukes av eller i nærheten av barn.
• Koble fra stikkontakten når den ikke er i bruk og før rengjøring. La avkjøle før du setter på eller tar av deler.
• Ikke bruk noe apparat med en skadet ledning eller støpsel, eller etter at apparatet ikke fungerer eller har blitt skadet på noen måte.
• Bruk av tilbehør som ikke er anbefalt av apparatprodusenten kan forårsake skader.
• Ikke bruk utendørs.
• Ikke la ledningen henge over kanten av bordet eller benken, eller berør varme overflater.
• Ikke plasser på eller i nærheten av en varm gass- eller elektrisk brenner, eller i en oppvarmet ovn.
• Koble alltid støpselet til apparatet først, og deretter ledningen til stikkontakten. For å koble fra, slå av en hvilken som helst kontroll og ta deretter støpselet ut av stikkontakten.
• Ikke bruk apparatet til annet enn tiltenkt bruk.
