Important Safeguards for all Electrical Appliances
• Always operate the appliance near a suitable wall power outlet and connect the appliance
directly to the power outlet. Do not use any extension cords or a multiple desk outlet.
• Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply corresponds to the voltage
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/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 strongly
recommended. If in doubt, contact your local electrician for further information.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended while connected to the power supply.
Always turn the appliance ´OFF` and IMMEDIATELY unplug the appliance after
operation and if it is not in use (even for a short break) and before cleaning
and/or assembling or disassembling. Always grasp the plug to disconnect the appliance
from the power outlet.
• Always handle the power cord with care. Do not pull or strain the power cord.
The power cord may never be knotted or squeezed. Do not let the power cord
hang over the edge of the table or counter. Take care not to entangle in the power
cord. Do not touch the appliance with wet hands to avoid risk of electric shock.
Do not touch the appliance, if it is damp or wet or is touching wet surfaces while
connected to the mains power supply. In this case, immediately unplug the appliance
and dry the appliance (see ‘Care and Cleaning’).
• Ensure that the holder is leak-proof before putting the glass container on the motorblock.
Always wipe off spilled liquids immediately. Do not immerse the motor or power cord in
any liquids or spill any liquids on it or place the motor on wet surfaces. Never let
any liquids run into the motorblock or underneath it to avoid electric shock. There are
louvre underneath the motorblock. Ensure that no water can run into the louvre.
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.
