34IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCESThe appliance is driven electrically. Place the appliance near a suitable wall powersocket to connect the appliance directly to a protected mains power supply with protec-tive conductor (earth/ground) connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating of yourmains power supply corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (220-240V, 50 Hz, AC, rated for at least 8 A). The installation of a residual current operated cir-cuit breaker (r.c.c.b.) with a maximum rated residual operating current of 30 mA in thesupplying electrical circuit is strongly recommended. If in doubt, contact your electricianfor further information.• Do not use multiple electrical adapters. We recommend avoiding the usage of exten-sion cords. However, if you wish to use an extension cord, ensure that the protectiveconductor is connected properly.• Do not leave the appliance unattended while connected to the power supply. Alwaysimmediately unplug the appliance after use and before cleaning. Always grasp theplug when disconnecting the appliance from the power outlet.• Always handle the power cord with care. Do not place the appliance on a powercord. Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of the table or counter. Keep thecable away from any hot surfaces (e.g. sealing band of the appliance). Never pull,rip, bend, clamp, squish or knot the power cord. Attend to nobody getting caught inloops of the power cord or pulling the appliance off the work space. When pullingthe plug always catch hold of the enclosure of the plug.

Please wait approximately30 seconds with the lid open (approximately 2 minutes with the lid closed) after eachsealing process before switching on again. For additional safety the appliance is fit-ted with a thermal cut out. In the event of overheating (possible with room temperatureof 35 °C or more, or overvoltage of the power supply) the appliance will automati-cally shut down to prevent damage. In this case, unplug and let the appliance cooldown for approximately 20 minutes before operating the appliance again.
