Vigtige sikkerhedsforanstaltninger
- Læs alle instruktioner.
- Rør ikke ved varme overflader. Brug håndtag eller knopper.
- For at beskytte mod brand, elektrisk stød og personskade må ledning, stik eller kaffemaskine ikke nedsænkes i vand eller anden væske.
- Tæt opsyn er nødvendigt, når et apparat bruges af eller i nærheden af børn.
- Træk stikket ud af stikkontakten, når det ikke er i brug, og før rengøring. Lad det køle af, før du sætter dele på eller af, og før du rengør apparatet.
- Betjen ikke noget apparat med en beskadiget ledning eller stik, eller efter at apparatet ikke fungerer korrekt eller er blevet beskadiget på nogen måde.
- Brug af tilbehør, der ikke er anbefalet af apparatets producent, kan resultere i brand, elektrisk stød eller personskade.
- Må ikke bruges udendørs.
- Lad ikke ledningen hænge ud over kanten af bordet eller bordpladen eller røre ved varme overflader.
- Må ikke placeres på eller i nærheden af en varm gas- eller elektrisk brænder eller i en opvarmet ovn.
- Sæt altid stikket i apparatet først, og sæt derefter ledningen i stikkontakten. For at afbryde forbindelsen skal du slukke for en vilkårlig knap og derefter tage stikket ud af stikkontakten.
- Brug ikke apparatet til andet end tilsigtet brug.
- En kort strømforsyningsledning medfølger for at reducere risikoen ved at blive viklet ind i eller snuble over en længere ledning.
