  • Lees alle instruksies.
  • Moenie aan warm oppervlaktes raak nie. Gebruik handvatsels en knoppe.
  • Om teen elektriese skok te beskerm, moenie die koord, proppe of die 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 die toestel vir ander as die bedoeling gebruik nie.
