1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1. Correct use
The machine may only be used for its designated
purpose (use only in private households) and is not

when in use (e.g. stove, deep fryer), or near open flames.
The machine must not be used in cupboards or other
closed pieces of furniture.
The mains supply voltage must always match the
working voltage of the machine. Please refer to the
type plate on the machine.
The machine must not be used at altitudes over
2000 m above sea level.
Do not operate the machine if the mains supply cable
or the casing is damaged. Never let the mains supply
cable touch hot parts.
If the mains supply cable of the machine is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its customer
service representative,or a similarly qualified technician
to avoid hazards.
