WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES

• Check that the mains voltage corresponds with that shown on the rating plate of the power adapter before you use it.
• Certain parts of an electrical appliance may become warm or sometimes hot. Do not touch them as you may burn yourself.
• Make sure your hands are dry when you touch an electrical appliance, a cord or power adapter.
• Electrical appliances must be able to lose their heat to avoid fire hazards. Therefore, make sure that the appliance has sufficient clearance around it and that it does not come into contact with flammable materials. Electrical appliances must never be covered.
• Make sure that electrical appliances, cords or power adapters do not come into contact with water.
• Never immerse electrical appliances, cords or power adapters in water or any other liquid.
• Do not touch electrical appliances if they have fallen in the water. Immediately pull the power adapter out of the socket. Stop using the appliance.
• Make sure that electrical appliances, cords and power adapters do not come into contact with heat sources, such as a hot hob or open fire.
• Never let cords hang over the edge of the sink, a worktop or a table.
• Always remove the power adapter from the socket when you are not using the electrical appliance.
• Remove the power adapter from the socket by pulling the power adapter itself and not the cord.
• Regularly check if the cord of the electrical appliance is not damaged. Do not use the electrical appliance if the cord shows signs of damage.  If the cord is damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer, atechnical service provider or a person with an equivalent qualification, to avoid any danger.
• The appliance may not be switched on with the aid of an external time switch, or by a separate system with remote control.
