Connect the appliance safely
Since the appliance is operated with electrical current, there is a danger
of electric shock. Therefore:
– Do not immerse appliance in water or other liquids, or treat with liq-
uids. Do not operate the appliance outdoors or in rooms with high hu-
midity. Do not handle the plug with wet hands.
– Connect appliance only to outlets with protective contact. Connect
and start up the appliance only according to the details on the name
plate (underside of the appliance).
– Check the appliance and power cable for possible damage before
use. Never operate a defective appliance or an appliance with a de-
fective power cable.
– Never try to repair the appliance or its power cable yourself. To pre-
vent hazards, repairs to the appliance and the power cable may only
be made by our customer service. Give a defective appliance to a
dealer or contact SEVERIN customer service.
– Make sure that the power cable is not kinked, crushed or run over
and that it does not come into contact with sources of heat, humidity
or sharp edges. Make sure that the power cable does not become a
trip hazard.
– Do not pull or transport the appliance using the power cable. When
unplugging the plug from the outlet, always pull directly on the plug.
– If possible, do not use an extension cable. If this is unavoidable, use
only GS-tested, simple extension cables (no multi-outlet adapters)
that are designed for the appliance's high power consumption.
– Immediately after use, before cleaning or maintaining the appliance,
as well as before changing accessories, switch off the appliance and
pull the plug from the outlet.
