kinked, pinched or knotted with other cables. Make sure that no one steps on
the mains cable and ensure that the mains cable is laid in such a way that it
cannot become a trip hazard.

until the pot has cooled down completely before touching these parts.
•

Make sure there is a minimum of one cup of liquid in the pot to maintain
pressure.
