Important Safeguards for all Electrical Appliances
The appliance is heated electrically. Place the appliance near a suitable wall power socket
to connect the appliance directly to a protected mains power supply with protective conduc-
tor (earth/ground) connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power
supply corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (220 - 240 V, 50 Hz, AC,
rated for at least 8 A).
The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.) with a maximum
rated residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly re-
commended. If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information. In various foreign
countries, the specifications for power supplies are subject to incompatible norms. Therefore
it is possible that power supplies in foreign countries do not meet the requirements for safe
operation of the appliance. Thus, before operating the appliance abroad, ensure that safe
operation is possible.

fore use. Do not place the appliance on a power cord. Power cords may never be knotted,
twisted, pulled, strained or squeezed. Do not let the plug or power cord hang over the edge
of the table or counter. The power cord may not touch hot surfaces. Ensure that no one will
pull the appliance by the power cord. Take care not to entangle in the power cord. Always
grasp the plug to disconnect the power cord. Do not touch the power plug with wet hands
when the appliance is connected to the power supply.
