- Læs alle instruktioner, inden du betjener apparatet.
- Rør ikke ved varme overflader. Brug håndtag eller knopper.
- For at beskytte mod brand, elektrisk stød og personskade må ledning, stik eller apparat 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.
- Brug ikke et apparat med en beskadiget ledning eller stik, eller efter at apparatet ikke fungerer korrekt eller er blevet beskadiget på nogen måde. Kontakt kundeservice for undersøgelse, reparation eller justering.
- Brug af tilbehør, der ikke er anbefalet af apparatets producent, kan resultere i brand, elektrisk stød eller personskade.
