De’Longhi’s Safety Precautions Troubleshooting
De’Longhi pride themselves on their innovative range
of the highest quality consumer products.
De’Longhi ensures all of its products are 100% safe
through quality design and manufacture. All products
meet or exceed stringent laboratory-tested safety
requirements.
It is necessary for anyone using an electrical appliance
to be safety conscious. The following precautions are
essential for the safe use of an electrical appliance.
Carefully read all of the instructions provided with your
appliance:
Always turn the power off at the power outlet before
Ÿyou insert or remove a plug. Remove by grasping
the plug, do not pull on the cord.
Do not use your appliance with an extension cord
Ÿunless this cord has been checked and tested by a
qualified technician or service person. The
extension cord must be a VDE-Listed, 3-wire
grounding extension cord that has a grounding
plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the
cord is 220-240 volts and at least 10 amperes.
Always use your appliance from a power outlet of
Ÿthe voltage (A.C. only) marked on the appliance.
Do not use an appliance for any purpose other than
Ÿits intended use.
Do not attempt to repair an electrical appliance.
ŸReturn a damaged or malfunctioning appliance to a
qualified service centre for adjustment or repair if
required.
The appliance must be positioned so the AC plug is
Ÿaccessible.
This appliance is designed exclusively for
Ÿhousehold use. All other uses are strictly forbidden.
The appliance is not intended for use by persons
Ÿ(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced
Ÿby the manufacturer, an authorised service centre
or a qualified electrician in order to eliminate all risk.
