IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Only touch a handle or knob.

3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the cable, plugs or main unit in water or any other liquid.

4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

5. Unplug the appliance from the power outlet when it is not in use and before cleaning it. Allow the appliance to cool before attaching or removing parts.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cable or plug or when the appliance has malfunctioned or been damaged in any way. Return the appliance to the nearest authorised service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let the cable hang over the edge of a table or work surface or touch hot surfaces.

10. Do not place the appliance on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.

11. Extreme caution must be exercised when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.

12. Always attach the cable to the appliance first, then plug it into the wall power outlet. To disconnect the appliance, turn any control to ‘off’, then remove the plug from the wall power outlet.

13. Do not use the appliance for anything other than its intended use.

14. Do not cook on a damaged cooker. If the cooker is damaged, cleaning solution or spillages may penetrate the cooker and create a risk of electric shock.

15. Exercise caution when cleaning the cooker. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

16. Do not place metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons or lids on the cooking plate, as they can get hot.

17. This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and
    above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
    capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have
    been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
    appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

18. a) A short power supply cable is to be provided so as to reduce risks associated with longer cables such as entanglement and tripping.
    b) Longer extension cables are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
    c) If a long extension cable is used:

• the marked electrical rating of the extension cable must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
• the longer cable must be arranged so that it will not drape off the work surface or table top creating a risk that it will be pulled by children or tripped over unintentionally.
