Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions

•

•

•

•

•

•

Sunbeam are very safety conscious when designing and manufacturing consumer products, but it is essential that the product user also exercise care when using an electrical appliance. Listed below are precautions which are essential for the safe use of an electrical appliance:

Read carefully and save all the instructions provided with an appliance.

Always turn the power off at the power outlet before you insert or remove a plug. Remove by grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.

Turn the power off and remove the plug when the appliance is not in use and before cleaning.

Do not use your appliance with an extension cord unless this cord has been checked and tested by a qualifi ed technician or service person.

Always use your appliance from a power outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked on the appliance.

Close supervision is necessary when your appliance is being used near children or infi rm persons.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Never leave an appliance unattended while in use.

Do not use an appliance for any purpose other than its intended use.

Do not place an appliance on or near a hot gas fl ame, electric element or on a heated oven. Do not place on top of any other appliance.

Do not let the power cord of an appliance hang over the edge of a table or bench top or touch any hot surface.

For safety reasons and to avoid maintenance by unskilled persons, some appliances are

‘sealed’ using tamperproof screws. Such appliances should always be returned to the nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre for adjustment or repair if required.

Do not operate any electrical appliance with a damaged cord or after the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any manner. If damage is suspected, return the appliance to the nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre for examination, repair or adjustment.

For additional protection, Sunbeam recommend the use of a residual current device

(RCD) with a tripping current not exceeding

30mA in the electrical circuit supplying power to your appliances.

Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.

If you have any concerns regarding the performance and use of your appliance, please visit www.sunbeam.com.au or contact the Sunbeam Consumer Service Line.

Ensure the above safety precautions are understood.
