Before disposing of old appliances make them unusable. Remove plug
from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any snap or latch
closures. This eliminates the danger of playing children locking
themselves into the appliance (danger of suffocation) or place
themselves into other life-endangering situations.
Children often do not recognise the dangers involved with household
appliances. Please provide for the necessary supervision and do not
allow children to play with the appliance!
