| Issue: | Investigations have shown that the overheating protection system of the heating element may fail to function under certain circumstances. This could result in a serious injury such as a burn or respiratory complications as a result of inhaling smoke. The reported overheating events have been confined to the machines. Therefore the probability of occurrence of harm to person based on available evidence is considered remote. |
