10. The packing materials (plastic bags, expanded polystyrene, etc.) must be kept out
of the reach of children or disabled persons since they represent potential sources
of danger.
Location
11. This appliance is NOT suitable to be used or stored near heat sources (open flame,
ovens, heaters, stoves, etc.) and/or in an explosive environment (in the presence
of flammable substances such as gas, vapour, mist or dust, in atmospheric
conditions when, after ignition, the combustion is spread in the air). Items
containing these substances should never be placed in the appliance, and never
be used to clean the appliance in order to avert the risk of fire or explosion.
12. The appliance should NOT be placed on a surface, or in the vicinity of objects,
which can be damaged by heat such as carpets or plastics. During operation, as
heat is transferred away from the appliance, the surface that the appliance is
placed upon as well the surface immediately above or adjacent to it may become
very hot. There should be at least 10 cm of free space from the back, left & right
sides and at least 20 cm from the top of the appliance to allow adequate air
circulation. Never put things on top of the Lid. DO NOT locate multiple portable
socket outlets or power supplies at the bottom or rear of the appliance. Never use
the appliance near curtains or textiles. If the appliance is operated on wooden
furniture, use a protective pad to prevent damage to delicate finishes.
13. Avoid placing the power cable on abrasive or sharp surfaces or in positions where
it can be damaged easily. Avoid placing heavy objects on the cable. The cable
must NOT be placed under carpets, or covered with throw rugs, runners or similar.
Arrange the cable away from the high traffic area, and where it will NOT be tripped
over. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the cable.
