within easy reach of children, as these may cause serious injuries. The packaging material is recyclable
and is marked with the recycling symbol .
• Do not attempt to modify the technical characteristics of the appliance as this may become dangerous
to use.
• Do not carry out cleaning or maintenance operations on the appliance without having previously di-
sconnected it from the electric power supply.
