IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

The necessary precautions must be taken when using electrical appliances, and

these include the following:

1. Make sure that the voltage on the appliance rating plate corresponds to that

of the mains electricity.

2. Never leave the appliance unattended when connected to the power supply;

unplug it after every use.

3. Never place the appliance on or close to sources of heat.

4. Always place the appliance on a flat, level surface during use.

5. Never leave the appliance exposed to the elements (rain, sun, etc...).

6. Make sure that the power cord does not come into contact with hot surfaces.

7. This appliance can be used by persons who have reduced physical sensory or

mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, only if they are moni-

tored by a responsible person or if they have received and understood the instruc-

tions and dangers which may arise during the appliance use.

8. This appliance must not be used by children.

9. Never place the appliance body, plug or power cord in water or other liquids;

always wipe clean with a damp cloth.

10. Always unplug the power cord from the electricity mains before fitting or

removing single attachments or before cleaning the appliance.

11. Always make sure that your hands are thoroughly dry before using or adjust-

ing the switches on the appliance, or before touching the power plug or power

connections.

12. To unplug the appliance, grip the plug and remove it directly from the power

socket. Never pull the power cord to unplug the appliance.

13. Do not use the appliance if the power cord or plug are damaged or if the appli-

ance itself is faulty; all repairs, including substitution of power cord, must be

carried out exclusively by an Ariete assistance centre or by authorized Ariete

technicians in order to avoid all risks.

14. In case of using extension leads, these must be suitable for the appliance

power to avoid danger to the operator and for the safety of the environment in

which the appliance is being used. Extension leads, if not suitable, can cause

operating anomalies.
