IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS These instructions shall also be available on website: www.whirlpool.eu YOUR SAFETY AND THAT OF OTHERS IS VERY IMPORTANT This manual and the appliance itself provide important safety warnings, to be read and observed at all times. This is the danger symbol, pertaining to safety, which alerts users to potential risks to themselves and others.
- If the surface of the induction plate is cracked, do not use it and switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock (only for models with induction function). - Do not touch the appliance with any wet part of the body and do not operate it when barefoot. - This appliance is designed solely for use as a domestic appliance for cooking food.
