∙ The appliance and its power
cord must be kept well away
from children under 8 at all
times.
∙ Caution: Keep any packaging materials
well away from children – such materials
are a potential source of danger, e.g. of
suffocation.
∙ Before the appliance is used, the main
body as well as any attachments fi tted

defects. If the appliance, for instance,
has been dropped onto a hard surface, it
must no longer be used: even invisible
damage may have adverse effects on its
operational safety.
∙ The power cord should be regularly
examined for any signs of damage. In the
event of such damage being found, the
appliance must no longer be used.
