• Do not leave the appliance unattended while connected to the power
supply. Always turn the appliance off and IMMEDIATELY unplug the
appliance after operation and if it is not in use (even for a short break)
and before cleaning and/or assembling or disassembling. Always
grasp the plug to disconnect the appliance from the power outlet.
• Always handle the power cord with care. Do not pull or strain the
power cord. The power cord may never be knotted or squeezed. Do
not let the power cord hang over the edge of the table or counter.
Take care not to entangle in the power cord. Do not touch the appli-
ance with wet hands to avoid risk of electric shock. Do not touch the
appliance, if it is damp or wet or is touching wet surfaces while con-
nected to the mains power supply. In this case, immediately unplug the
appliance and dry the appliance (see ›Care and Cleaning‹).
• Do not immerse the appliance or power cord in any liquids or spill
any liquids on it or place the motor on wet surfaces. Never let any
liquids run into the motor or underneath it to avoid electric shock.
When liquids are spilled on the motor housing, immediately unplug
the appliance and dry the motor housing to avoid risk of electric shock
or fire. Do not attempt to operate the appliance, when liquids are on
or in the motor housing.
• Never use the appliance if the power cord, the plug or the appliance
are damaged. The appliance is likely damaged if it does not operate
as intended or liquid got into the motor housing. In this case, immedi-
ately unplug the appliance and return the entire appliance (including
all parts and accessories) to an authorised service centre for examina-
tion and repair.
