• Llegiu totes les instruccions abans d'utilitzar aquest aparell.
• No toqueu superfícies calentes. Utilitzeu nanses o poms.
• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or other electrical parts in water or other liquid.
• És necessària una supervisió estreta quan qualsevol aparell és utilitzat per o a prop dels nens.
• Desendolleu la presa de corrent quan no utilitzeu i abans de netejar. Deixeu refredar abans de posar o treure peces i abans de netejar l'aparell.
• No feu servir cap aparell amb un cable o un endoll danyats, o després que l'aparell funcioni malament o s'hagi fet malbé de cap manera. Torneu l'aparell al centre de servei autoritzat més proper per a l'examen, la reparació o l'ajust.
• L'ús d'accessoris no recomanats pel fabricant de l'aparell pot causar lesions.
• No utilitzar a l'aire lliure.
• No deixeu que el cable pengi de la vora de la taula o del taulell, ni toqui superfícies calentes.
• No col·loqueu-lo sobre o prop d'un cremador de gas o elèctric calent, ni en un forn calent.
• Connecteu sempre primer l'endoll a l'aparell i després el cable a la presa de corrent. Per desconnectar-lo, gireu qualsevol control a la posició "off" i, a continuació, retireu l'endoll de la presa de corrent.
• No utilitzeu l'aparell per a un altre ús que el previst.
• S'ofereix un cable d'alimentació curt per reduir els riscos derivats d'enganxar-se o ensopegar-se amb un cable més llarg.
• Aquest aparell té un endoll polaritzat (una fulla és més ampla que l'altra). Per reduir el risc de descàrrega elèctrica, aquest endoll està pensat per encaixar en una presa de corrent polaritzada només d'una manera. Si l'endoll no encaixa completament a la presa de corrent, inverteix l'endoll. Si encara no encaixa, poseu-vos en contacte amb un electricista qualificat. No intenteu modificar l'endoll de cap manera.
