Positioning the appliance

heat sources such as ovens, hot plates or
the like.
• Always place the appliance at the back of
a kitchen counter and at a safe distance
from flammable objects such as curtains,
tablecloths or similar.
• Do not cover.
• Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge
of a table/counter, and keep it away from
hot objects and the hot surfaces of the

Cord, plug and mains socket
• Check regularly that neither cord nor plug is
damaged and do not use if they are, or if the
appliance has been dropped or damaged in
any other way.
• If the appliance or plug is damaged, it must
be inspected and if necessary, repaired by
an authorised repair engineer, otherwise
there is a risk of electric shock. Never try to
repair the appliance yourself.
• Remove the plug from the socket when
cleaning, or when the appliance is not to be

• Avoid pulling the cord when removing the
plug from the socket. Instead, hold the plug.
• The cord must not be twisted or wound
around the appliance.
• Check that it is not possible to pull or trip
over the cord or any extension cord.
