IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including:
1. To protect against electrical hazards, do not immerse the power cord, plug or stick mixer motor unit
in water or any other liquid.
2. Do not use outdoors or in damp or moist areas.
3. Always use the appliance handles when handling.
4. 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.
5. Care should be taken to avoid personal injury when handling the sharp cutting blades. Use a glove or
a towel for safety.
6. Always switch off and disconnect from the wall power outlet before assembling, disassembling,
cleaning or leaving the appliance unattended.
7. Always switch off and disconnect the appliance from the wall power outlet when not in use.
8. To disconnect, switch off the wall power outlet, then grasp and pull the plug from wall outlet. Never
pull by the cord.
9. Do not operate this appliance with a damaged cord/plug or after the appliance has malfunctioned,
been dropped or damaged in any manner. Contact Customer Service for examination, adjustment,
repair or replacement.
10. There are no user serviceable parts. If power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
11. Do not use on an inclined plane or unstable surface.
12. Keep the appliance and power cord away from the edges of benches and countertops.
13. Keep hands and utensils away from moving blades when in use to prevent the possibility of severe
personal injury and damage to the stick mixer. A plastic/silicone scraper may be used, but only when
the appliance is not running.
14. Do not operate the stick mixer motor unit without the attachments fitted.
15. Always cut food items into manageable pieces before processing.
16. Do not use the stick mixer for more than 1 minute. Then allow the motor to cool for 2 minutes.
17. When processing hard food, use short bursts. Do not run for longer than 15 seconds at a time.
18. Ensure the stick mixer is switched off and the blades have come to a complete stop before removing
processed contents.
19. The blender shaft blade is sharp and it rotates at high speed. So, to avoid serious injury:
a.
do not switch on until the blade is inside the container
b.
switch off before lifting the blade from the container
c.
do not touch the blade edge – even when cleaning
d.
do not plug in until just before use
e.
unplug immediately after use
f.
do not leave the appliance unattended while plugged in
20. When using the blender shaft in hot liquids, do not allow the blade to break the surface at an angle,
in case you spray liquid outside the container.
21. Do not use the blender shaft in hot oil – splashes could cause a serious burn.
22. For your safety, we recommend that you do not blend liquids/foods that are hotter than 40°C.
23. Ensure the stick mixer is switched off and the blades have come to a complete stop before removing
processed contents.
24. Do not overfill the mixing/processing containers.
