25. For added safety, electrical appliances should be connected to a power outlet that is protected by a
residual current device (RCD), also often referred to as a ‘Safety Switch’. Your switchboard may already
incorporate an RCD. If unsure, call an electrician for verification and fitting if necessary.
This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:
• staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments;
