INTRODUCTION
To get the best out of your new appliance, please read
this user guide carefully before using it for the first
time. Take particular note of the safety precautions.
We also recommend that you keep the instructions for
future reference, so that you can remind yourself of the
functions of your appliance.

injury and damage.

is not responsible for any injury or damage resulting
from incorrect use or handling (see also Guarantee
Terms).
• For domestic use only. Not for outdoor or
commercial use.
• For connection to 230 V, 50 Hz only.
• Do not immerse the motor section, cord or plug in
water or any other liquid. Make sure that no liquid

damp hands.
• Keep the appliance under constant supervision
while in use. Keep an eye on children.
• The appliance contains sharp parts - keep out of the
reach of children.
• Use only accessories supplied with the appliance or
those recommended by the manufacturer.
• NOTE! This appliance is provided with a
safety switch to prevent starting the appliance
unintentionally. Only deactivate the safety switch,
if the appliance is completely and correctly
assembled, and all parts have been fitted as
described in the user guide. Otherwise the
appliance cannot be switched on! We recommend
you carefully check the assembly of the appliance, if
the appliance cannot be started.
WARNING: When mixing hot liquids/foods excess
pressure may build up inside the blender, and this could
make the lid come off and the contents splash out.
We therefore recommend that you avoid mixing
excessively hot foods and that you only put very small
quantities of hot liquids or foods into the blender.
Use
• Always place the appliance on a dry, level and firm
surface well away from any edges.
• The
appliance should only be switched on when
the blender glass with lid has been attached and
contains liquid and/or food.
• Do not leave the appliance running non stop for
more than 1 minute at a time. If the appliance has
been running for 1 minute, allow it to cool down for
1 minute before you use it again.
• Never pour boiling liquid or very hot food into
the blender glass. Make sure that the food has
a sufficiently low temperature to avoid burning/
scalding in case of skin contact.
• Never add liquid or food above the “1,500 ml” mark
on the blender glass.
• Do not use the appliance if the blender glass is
cracked or damaged in any way.
• Never put tools or your hands into the blender glass
while the appliance is switched on. Please note that
the blade may still rotate for a while after you switch
off the appliance.
• Be careful not to touch the sharp edges of the
blades during use and cleaning!
Cord and plug
• Do not let the cord hang out over the edge of the
work surface.
• Check that it is not possible to pull or trip over the
cord or any extension cord.
• Keep the cord and appliance away from heat
sources, hot objects and naked flames.
• Remove the plug from the socket before removing
the lid from the appliance, before cleaning, or when
the appliance is not in use. Avoid pulling the cord
when removing the plug from the socket. Instead,
hold the plug.
• Ensure that the cord is fully extended.
• The cord must not be twisted or wound around the
appliance.
• Check regularly that neither cord nor plug is
damaged and do not use if they are, or if the
appliance has been dropped or damaged in any
other way.
• If the appliance, cord or plug has been damaged,
have them inspected and if necessary repaired by
an authorised repair engineer. Never try to repair
the appliance yourself. Please contact the store
where you bought the appliance for repairs under
guarantee. Unauthorised repairs or modifications to
the appliance will invalidate the guarantee.
