2 This product has not been designed for any uses other than those specified
in this manual.
3 Before connecting the stand mixer, check if the voltage indicated on the
appliance corresponds with the mains voltage in your home. If this is not the
case, contact your dealer, and do not use the appliance.
4 Do not operate the stand mixer with a damaged cord or if it has been
dropped or damaged.
5 Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces. Let the stand mixer cool

by a service agent appointed by the manufacturer, as special purpose tools
are required.
9 To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage
appliance on the same circuit.

should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should
be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be accidentally pulled or
tripped over.
11 The stand mixer must be used on stable, heat-resistant surface.
