Important safety instructions

■
Caution: do not use the

pool, over a washbasin filled
with water or near any other receptacle
containing water.
Protect the appliance from moisture and
splashing water and do not operate it with
wet hands.
■
In the vicinity of any water source, there is
a risk even when the appliance is switched
