SAFE CHECKS · IN ORDER
  1. Switch the machine off and unplug it.
  2. Check the lead and plug for visible damage. Do not use the machine if either is damaged.
  3. Test the wall outlet with another low-risk appliance and avoid overloaded power boards.
  4. Let the machine cool for at least 30 minutes, then reconnect it directly to the wall outlet.
  5. Follow the official manual's power-on or standby sequence.

Independent general guidance, not the manufacturer's manual. Stop if a step conflicts with the exact-model manual, the machine remains pressurised or hot, or electrical safety is uncertain. Never open the casing.

SAFETY FIRST

Heat, pressure, water and electricity need boundaries.

Switch off and cool the machine before removing parts. Never open the casing. For smoke, burning smells, sparks, damaged cords or internal leaks, stop using the machine and contact the manufacturer or an authorised technician.
