Coffee and tea maker “TZS FIRST AUSTRIA”

This product poses a risk of electric shock because the mains cable can be pushed into the appliance, where it may get into contact with hot heating elements. The cord anchorage is placed far away from the opening of the cable inlet (approx. 5 cm), thus during the moving of the appliance (e. g. during pressed against wall or furniture) the mains supply cable can be freely pushed into the appliance (also even by hand). If the insulation gets damaged due to contacting with hot elements then the damaged wire becomes accessible when moving the appliance or it can get into contact with metal surfaces. Since very vulnerable people (elderly) can also use this product and hazard is not obvious, moreover there is no adequate protection and warning the outcome of the risk assessment is serious risk. In addition, the Hungarian instruction for use does not refer to the product concerned, therefore it only has instruction for use in foreign language.
