Work area
Keep your work area clean and tidy. A messy or unlit work area can cause accidents.
Keep children and other persons at a distance when using the product.
Electrical safety
The plug on the unit must fit in the socket. Do not modify the plug in any way. Never use
an adapter in combination with earthed appliances. Using an unmodified plug and a
suitable socket will reduce the risk of an electric shock.
Avoid bodily contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, heating units, cookers and
refrigerators. The risk of an electric shock is greater when your body is earthed.
Keep the appliance away from rain or damp. Allowing water to get into an electric
appliance will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not misuse the cable by using it to remove the plug from the socket. Always remove
whilst holding onto the plug. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or the
moving parts of other appliances. Using damaged or tangled cables increases the risk of
electric shock.
When working with an appliance outdoors, only use extension cables which are permitted
for outdoor use. Using an extension cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Potential risk of fire due to heat build-up. Unwind the cable from the cable drum to
prevent a possible heat build-up and/or cable fire. The coupling must have splash
protection, must be made of rubber or be rubber-coated.
Safety guidelines for persons
Be alert. Pay attention to what you are doing. Take the utmost care when working with
electrical appliances. Do not use the appliance when tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication.
Just one moment of inattention whilst using the appliance can result in serious injury.

Risks of a grease fire or grease explosion:
If you pour water into hot oil, there is a risk of fire and explosion.
There is a risk of confusing oil with water.
Always check beforehand which liquid is in the container, oil or water.
Grease fires are problematic, as attempts to extinguish them with water can lead to a grease
explosion. A grease explosion can occur if an attempt is wrongly made to extinguish a grease fire with
water or liquids (beverages etc.) with a high water content.
NEVER attempt to extinguish burning oil with water. NEVER pour water into hot oil.
The easiest way to extinguish a grease fire is to place a dry cover on top, so that the flammable
substance is separated from the oxygen and quenched. However, you must take care to protect
yourself, as some parts of the body (arms, chest and face) are only minimally protected and there is a
risk of burns.
If the hot oil catches fire:
If present: Switch off the extraction fan.
Extinguish the flames with a large cover.
Keep a suitable fire extinguisher ready to hand for extinguishing cooking oil and cooking fat
fires.
