Belangrike veiligheidsinligting

Wanneer elektriese toestelle gebruik word, moet basiese veiligheidsmaatreëls altyd gevolg word om die risiko van brand, elektriese skok en/of besering aan persone te verminder, insluitend die volgende:

• Lees alle instruksies.
• Moenie aan warm oppervlaktes raak nie. Gebruik handvatsels of knoppe.
• Om te beskerm teen brand, elektriese skok en beserings aan persone, moenie koord, proppe of toestel in water of ander vloeistof dompel nie.
• Noukeurige toesig is nodig wanneer enige toestel deur of naby kinders gebruik word.
• Trek uit die stopcontact wanneer dit nie gebruik word nie en voor skoonmaak. Laat afkoel voor jy onderdele aan- of afhaal, en voordat jy die toestel skoonmaak.
• Moenie enige toestel gebruik met 'n beskadigde koord of prop of nadat die toestel wanfunksioneer, of op enige manier beskadig is nie.
• Die gebruik van bykomstighede wat nie deur die toestelvervaardiger aanbeveel word nie, kan brand, elektriese skok of beserings aan persone tot gevolg hê.
• Moenie buite gebruik nie.
• Moenie dat koord oor die rand van tafel of toonbank hang, of aan warm oppervlaktes raak nie.
• Moenie op of naby 'n warm gas- of elektriese brander, of in 'n verhitte oond plaas nie.
• Koppel altyd eers die prop aan die toestel, en steek dan die koord in die muursok. Om te ontkoppel, draai enige beheer na "af" en verwyder dan die prop uit die muursok.
• Moenie die toestel vir ander as die bedoeling gebruik nie.
• Uiterste versigtigheid moet gebruik word wanneer 'n toestel wat warm vloeistowwe bevat, verskuif word.
