Ulinzi Muhimu

Basic safety precautions should always be followed when using electrical appliances, including:

• Soma maagizo yote kabla ya matumizi.
• Usiguse nyuso za moto. Tumia vipini au visu.
• Tumia tu kwenye uso wa kiwango, kavu, na sugu ya joto.
• Ili kulinda dhidi ya mshtuko wa umeme, usizamishe waya, plagi, au mwili wa kifaa kwenye maji au kioevu kingine.
• Uangalizi wa karibu ni muhimu wakati kifaa kinatumiwa na watoto au karibu nao.
• Chomoa kwenye sehemu ya kutolea umeme wakati haitumiki na kabla ya kusafisha. Ruhusu ipoe kabla ya kuvaa au kuondoa sehemu, na kabla ya kusafisha kifaa.
• Usitumie kifaa chochote ukiwa na waya au plagi iliyoharibika, au baada ya kifaa kufanya kazi vibaya au kuharibika kwa namna yoyote. Wasiliana na huduma kwa wateja ya AROMA kwa uchunguzi, ukarabati, au marekebisho.
• Matumizi ya viambatisho vya vifaa ambavyo havipendekezwi na mtengenezaji wa vifaa vinaweza kusababisha moto, mshtuko wa umeme, au jeraha.
• Usitumie nje.
• Usiruhusu waya kugusa nyuso zenye moto au kuning'inia kwenye ukingo wa kaunta au meza.
• Usiweke au karibu na gesi moto au kichomea umeme, au kwenye oveni yenye joto.
• Usitumie kifaa kwa matumizi mengine isipokuwa yaliyokusudiwa.
• Tahadhari kubwa lazima itumike wakati wa kuhamisha kifaa kilicho na mafuta ya moto au vinywaji vingine vya moto.
• Ambatisha plagi kwenye kifaa kwanza, kisha chomeka kebo kwenye plagi ya ukutani. Ili kukata muunganisho, ZIMA kidhibiti chochote, kisha uondoe plagi kwenye plagi ya ukutani.
• Kifaa kinapaswa kuendeshwa kwenye saketi tofauti ya umeme kutoka kwa vifaa vingine vya uendeshaji. Ikiwa saketi ya umeme imejaa vifaa vingine, kifaa hiki kinaweza kisifanye kazi vizuri.
• Always ensure the exterior of the inner pot is dry before placing it into the cooker base.
• Kifaa hiki ni cha matumizi ya nyumbani tu.
