10. This appliance is NOT suitable to be used or stored near heat sources (open flame,
ovens, heaters, stoves, etc.) and/or in an explosive environment (in the presence
of flammable substances such as gas, vapour, mist or dust, in atmospheric
conditions when, after ignition, the combustion is spread in the air). Items
containing these substances should never be placed in the appliance, and never
be used to clean the appliance in order to avert the risk of fire or explosion.
11. The appliance should NOT be placed on a surface, or in the vicinity of, objects
which can be damaged by heat, such as carpets or plastics. DO NOT locate
multiple portable socket outlets or power supplies at the bottom or rear of the
appliance. During operation, as heat is transferred away from the appliance, the
surface that the appliance is placed upon as well the surface immediately above
or adjacent to it may become very hot. There should be at least 10 cm of free space
from the back, left & right sides and at least 20 cm from the top to allow adequate
air circulation. Never put things on top of the appliance. If the appliance is operated
on wooden furniture, use a protective pad to prevent damage to delicate finishes.

it can be damaged easily. Avoid placing heavy objects on the cable. The cable
must NOT be placed under carpets, or covered with throw rugs, runners or similar.
Arrange the cable away from the high traffic area, and where it will NOT be tripped
over. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the cable.

it in the bathroom or other humid environments. Rainwater splashing onto the
appliance may cause an electric shock.

indoors, or in any case, protected from weathering such as rain, direct radiation of
the sun and dust.
