• Given the diverse standards in effect, if the appliance is used in a country other than that in
which it is purchased, have it checked by an Approved Service Agent.

which is in good condition, has a plug with an earth connection and is suited to the power rating
of the appliance.

of the appliance.
• Carefully wash the attachments in warm water with a little washing up liquid, rinse and dry
thoroughly.

• Check the electrical power cord for signs of wear or damage prior to each period of use. If the
electrical power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an Approved Service Agent to avoid
any danger.
• Never leave the appliance unattended whilst connected to the power supply, even if only for a
few moments, especially where children are present.
• Use the appliance on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface away from water splashes.
