declared void if accessories are used
that are not recommended in these
operating instructions or, in the case of
repairs, if original parts are not used
exclusively. This also applies to repairs
undertaken by non-qualified persons.
1.4 Protection against
burning and scalding
Warning! As the appliance
operates at high temperatures,
non-observance of the following
warnings can result in burns or
scalds.
• Do not move the steriliser whilst in
operation. If you do need to move the
appliance when hot, switch it off first,
remove the plug and wait until it cools
down. Otherwise the surface could
cause scalding.
• The bottles are extremely hot after
sterilisation and should only be handled
using the enclosed tongs.
1.5 Protection against
electric shock
Warning! The following safety
instructions should protect you
against an electric shock.
• Only use the appliance if both appliance
and mains lead are intact.
• If the mains lead is damaged it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, his
customer service engineer or a similarly
qualified person to prevent potential
danger.
• On no account should water or any other
fluid be allowed to enter the equipment,
except in the intended receptacle. For
this reason:
– Never use outdoors.
– Never place receptacles containing
fluid, such as glasses containing
drinks, vases etc. on top of the
appliance
– Never use in a humid environment
– Do not use next to a sink.
In the event that fluid gets into the
appliance, immediately remove the plug
and have the appliance repaired by
qualified personnel. The contact address
is to be found at the end of these
operating instructions
• Never touch the appliance, the mains
lead or the plug with wet hands.
• Always remove the lead from the plug.
Never pull on the lead itself.
• Ensure that the lead never becomes
tangled or snagged.
• Keep the lead away from hot surfaces
(e.g. cooker hobs).
• Avoid the use of extension leads. These
should only be used in specific cases:
– The extension lead must be suitable
for the current specified for the
appliance.
– The extension lead must not be laid
"freely”: it must be secured so as to
prevent accidents and must be kept
out of the reach of children.
– The extension lead must on no
account be damaged.
– No other equipment should be
plugged into the socket at the same
time, as this will overload the mains
supply (i.e. no multi-pin sockets to be
used!).
1.6 Protection against risk of
fire
Warning! As the appliance
operates at high temperatures, the
following safety instructions
should be observed to prevent a
fire from occurring.
• There should be no flammable items
(e.g. curtains, paper etc.) in the
immediate vicinity of the appliance while
in operation.
• Never place textiles or other items on top
of, above or below the appliance to dry.
• To prevent overheating the appliance
should never be covered.
