SAFEGUARDS FOR DAILY OPERATION
• The appliance is designed for normal household quantities. DO NOT operate or
store the appliance outdoors or in damp or wet areas. DO NOT operate the appli-
ance in continuous operation for more than 1 minute to avoid overheating. If pro-
cessing large quantities of food, regularly interrupt the operation and unplug the

• DO NOT attempt to operate the appliance using any parts or accessories not
recommended by the manufacturer (i.e. blending tool ). Especially the blending tool
is sensitive to careless handling. DO NOT operate the appliance, when the appli-
ance or any part of it is likely to be damaged, to avoid risk of fire, electric shock or
any other damage or injury to persons. DO NOT attempt to open the motor housing
or to repair the power cord. Check the entire appliance regularly for proper opera-

excessively frayed parts, distortions or the gear stalls or sticks. In this case, immedi-
ately unplug the appliance and return the entire appliance (including all parts and
accessories) to an authorised service centre for examination and repair.
• Always IMMEDIATELY unplug the appliance after use and before assembling or
dismantling the blending tool and before laying down the appliance. Always ensu-
re, that the appliance is assembled correctly before connecting the appliance to the
mains power supply. Always handle the entire appliance and the tools with care
and without violence.
• DO NOT lift, pull or carry the appliance by the blending tool. To move or operate
the appliance, always hold on to the motor housing.
• Before use, always make sure that the appliance is properly and completely
assembled (see Operation). DO NOT leave any food to dry on the surfaces of the
appliance.
