• Check that the socket to which you connect the electrical appliance is earthed.
• Always install electrical appliances on a stable and level surface where it cannot fall over.
• Certain parts of an electrical appliance may become warm or sometimes hot. Do not touch them as you may burn yourself.
• Make sure your hands are dry when you touch an electrical appliance, a cord or a plug.

• Never let cords hang over the edge of the sink, a worktop or a table.
• Always remove plug from the socket when you are not using the electrical appliance.
• Remove the plug from the socket by pulling the plug itself and not the cord.
