2. Vigtige sikkerhedsinstruktioner

Ved brug af elektriske apparater skal grundlæggende sikkerhedsforanstaltninger altid følges for at reducere risikoen for brand, elektrisk stød og/eller personskade, herunder følgende:

• 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 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.
• Betjen ikke noget apparat med en beskadiget ledning eller stik, eller efter at apparatet ikke fungerer korrekt eller er blevet beskadiget på nogen måde. Returner apparatet til det nærmeste autoriserede serviceværksted for undersøgelse, reparation eller justering.
• 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.
• Der kan opstå skoldninger, hvis låget til vandtanken fjernes under brygningen.
