Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention measures when
using an electrical appliance, including the following:
Electrical Safety and Cord Handling
• Voltage: Before connecting the power cord, make sure that your outlet
voltage and circuit frequency correspond to the voltage stated on the
appliance rating label.
• Water: To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the cord, plug or the
power base in water or other liquid. Do not operate the appliance with wet
hands. Do not spill liquids into the power base.
• Power cord: Do not kink, bend, squash or damage the power cord, and
protect it from sharp edges and heat. Do not let it hang over the edge of a
table or benchtop, or touch hot surfaces. Run the cord in such a way that there
will be no risk of anyone pulling it inadvertently or tripping over it.
• No extension cord: Do not use an extension cord. Insert the plug directly into
an electrical outlet.
• Disassembly: Before disassembling the product, make sure the blades have
stopped moving and the plug is disconnected from the power supply.
• Disconnect: Disconnect the plug from the power supply before assembly,
disassembly and cleaning the appliance, before putting on or taking off parts
and when it is not in use. Grip by the plug, do not pull by the cord.
• Damage: Do not pick up or operate the appliance if the power supply cord,
plug or housing is damaged, or after it malfunctions or has been damaged, or
if the power base has been exposed to water or other liquid. A damaged cord
or plug must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified person in order
to avoid a hazard. In case of damage, call our after sales support line for
advice.
• RCD: Unless your home is already fitted with a residual current device (safety
switch), we recommend installing an RCD with a rated residual operating
current not exceeding 30mA to provide additional safety protection when
using electrical appliances. See your electrician for professional advice.
