General safety instructions
• This appliance is for household use only and NOT intended for use in moving vehicles. Do
not operate or store the appliance in humid or wet areas or outdoors. Any use of accesso-
ries, attachments or spare parts that are not recommended by the manufacturer or damaged
in any way may result in damage and/or injuries to persons.
• Check the entire appliance regularly for proper operation – especially the power cord. Do
not operate the appliance, when the appliance or any part of it is likely to be damaged, to
avoid risk of fire, electric shock or any other damage and/or injuries to persons. The appli-
ance is likely to be damaged if the appliance has been subject to inadmissible strain (e.g.
overheating, mechanical or electric shock), or if there are any cracks, excessively frayed or
melted parts, or distortions, or if the appliance is not working properly. In this case, immedi-
ately unplug the appliance and return the entire appliance (including all parts and accesso-
ries) to an authorised service centre for examination and repair.
• Operate the appliance on a well accessible, stable, level, dry, water-resistant, and suitable
large table or counter. Always keep the appliance and the table or counter clean and dry,
and wipe off spilled liquids immediately. Always remove the bowl from the motor base,
before taking food out of the bowl. Do not place any clothes or tissue or other objects under
or on the motor base during operation, to avoid risk of fire, electric shock and overheating.
Do not place the appliance over a power cord, or near the edge of the table or counter, or
on wet or inclined surfaces, or where it can fall.
• During operation keep the appliance in an appropriate distance of at least 20 cm on each
side and 50 cm above to furniture, walls, boards, curtains, and any delicate objects. Exclu-
sively use the appliance for processing edible food and domestic use. Immediately unplug
the appliance, if there is any kind of malfunction or problem (e.g. the motor gets stuck, liquid
running out, overheating). Do not needlessly operate the appliance continuously. Always
switch OFF the motor even when making short brakes (e.g. for preparing further ingredients).
• This appliance is NOT intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
Children must be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance or any parts of the appliance or the packaging.
Always keep the appliance where it is dry, frost-free, and clean, and where young children

of young children.
