appliance is NOT intended for use by children or infirm persons without supervision.
Take care that no one pulls the appliance by the power cord, especially when young
children are near. Place the appliance on a clean, dry and stable surface where it
is protected from inadmissible strain (i.e. mechanical or electric shock, overheating,
frost, moisture) and where young children cannot reach it.
• Operate the appliance on a well accessible, stable, level, dry, and suitable sur-
face. Always unplug the appliance before laying it down. DO NOT place the appli-
ance or any part of it on or near hot surfaces (heater, gas burner, grill or oven).
• DO NOT place the appliance near the edge of the table or counter or on inclined
or wet surfaces or where it can fall.
• DO NOT immerse the motor housing or power cord in water or any other liquid.
Do not pour or drip any liquids on the motor housing or power cord. When liquids
are spilled on the motor housing, immediately unplug the appliance and dry the
motor housing to avoid risk of electric shock or fire. DO NOT attempt to operate the
appliance, when liquids are on or in the motor housing. With the appliance con-
nected to the power supply, DO NOT touch the appliance with wet hands or when
the appliance is damp or wet or is touching wet surfaces. In this case do not touch
the appliance but immediately unplug the power cord from the power supply and
dry the appliance (see Care and Cleaning).
• DO NOT place the motor housing or power cord in an automatic dishwasher!
• To avoid damage, do not use any abrasive cleaners, corrosive chemicals (i.e.
disinfectants, bleach) or cleaning pads for operation or cleaning. DO NOT use any
hard or sharp utensils for operation or cleaning.
• The appliance is intended for blending and mixing food. Do not use the appliance
for any other purpose. DO NOT use any fragile vessels with the appliance (i.e. fine
drinking glasses or china). We recommend to use medium-sized stainless steal or
plastic vessels (such as the vessle provided). During operation, ensure that the pro-
cessing tool will not touch the interior of the vessel. DO NOT chop extremely hard
food, such as nutmeg, coffee beans and grain.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR ALL ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
• Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply corresponds to the vol-
tage requirements of the appliance (220/230 V, 50 Hz, AC). Always connect the
appliance directly to a mains power supply wall socket with protective conductor
(earth) connected properly. The installation of a residual current safety switch with
a maximum rated residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical cir-
cuit is strongly recommended. If in doubt, contact your local electrician for further
information.
