Children under the age of 8 years old
should be kept away from the appliance and

Never immerse the appliance in water or
other liquids.
If you want to pull the connection cord
out of the socket, always pull directly on the
plug. Never pull on the connection cord.
Ensure that the connection cord is not
bent, pinched, rolled over and that it does
not come into contact with heat sources.
