1.1. Correct use  The machine may only be used for its designated
purpose (use only in private households) and is not intended for commercial use, which would void the warranty (see accompanying warranty terms).

1.2. General instructions for the user

 Set the machine on a dry, level and stable surface, and use it only indoors. Never place this machine on a hot surface, near other appliances which become very hot when in use (e.g. stove, deep fryer), or near open flames.

 The machine must not be used in cupboards or other closed pieces of furniture.

 The mains supply voltage must always match the working voltage of the machine. Please refer to the type plate on the machine.



The machine must not be used at altitudes over 2000m above sea level.

 Do not operate the machine if the mains supply cable or the casing is damaged. Never let the mains supply cable touch hot parts.

 If the mains supply cable of the machine is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its customer service representative, or a similarly qualified technician to avoid hazards.
