Only connect the appliance to an earthed wall socket.
To avoid overheating, fully unwind the power cord.
Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of tables or countertops.
A short power cord should be used and arranged to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over the power cord.
