• Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near young children. Do not
let young children play with any parts of the appliance or the packing. The appliance is
NOT intended for use by children or infirm persons without supervision. Take care that no
one will pull 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, direct sunlight) and
where young children cannot reach it.
• Operate the appliance on a well accessible, stable, level, dry, and suitable large table or
counter. Do not place the appliance or any part of it on or near hot surfaces (heater, gas
burner, grill or oven). Do not process hot food. Wait for the food to cool down. The rising
steam and condensation on the appliance can damage the appliance. Do not place the
appliance near the edge of the table or counter or on inclined or wet surfaces or where
it can fall. Always unplug the appliance when not in use. Place the appliance on a stable
and level surface.
• Do not immerse the appliance or power cord in water or any other liquid. Do not pour or
drip any liquids on the motor head or power cord. When liquids are spilled on the motor
head, immediately unplug the appliance and dry the motor head to avoid risk of electric
shock or fire. Do not attempt to operate the appliance, when liquids are on or in the motor
head. With the appliance connected 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
immediately unplug the power cord from the power supply and dry the appliance (see ´Care
and Cleaning`).
• Do not place the appliance, accessories 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 cleaning. Do not use any hard or sharp utensils for operation
or cleaning. Keep the appliance away from sharp edges. Do not leave any food dry on the
surfaces of the appliance.
• The appliance is intended for blending and mixing food only. Do not use the appliance
for any other purpose, especially, do not process any liquids containing inflammable or
corrosive solvents (i.e. paint or lacquer). Fumes of volatile solvents coming in contact with
the motor, could catch fire and explode!
Important Safeguards for all Electrical Appliances
• Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply corresponds to the voltage
requirements of the appliance (220/240 V, 50 Hz, AC). Always connect the appliance
directly to a mains power supply wall socket with protective conductor (earth/ground)
connected properly. The installation of a residual current safety switch with a maximum rated
residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is recommended. If in
doubt, contact your local electrician for further information. Do not use any multiple desk socket.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended while connected to the power supply. Always
