  •  When disconnecting the appliance from the power source, pull only on the plug itself, never on the cable.
  •  Do not kink or crush the power cable, and route the cable so that it cannot be stepped on or tripped over.
  •  After every use, before cleaning and when refilling with tap water, always remove the plug from the mains power socket.
  •  Always unroll the power cable fully before switching on and do not use an extension cable.
  •  Never touch the power cable or the plug with wet hands.
