Important safety
instructions
The use of any electrical appliance
requires the following of basic common
sense safety rules.
Primarily there is danger of injury or
death and secondly the danger of damage
to the appliance. These are indicated in the
text by the following two conventions:
WARNING: Danger to the person!
IMPORTANT: Damage to the appliance!
In addition we offer the following
essential safety advice.
Location
• Do not use outdoors.
Mains lead
• The mains lead should reach without
straining the connections.
• Do not let the mains lead hang over the
edge of a worktop where a child could
reach it.
• Do not let the lead run across an open
space e.g. between a low socket and
table.
• Do not let the lead run across a cooker
or toaster or other hot area which might
damage the cable.
Personal safety
• WARNING: To protect against fire,
electric shock and personal injury
do not immerse cord, plug or mixer
in water or other liquid.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use,
before cleaning, removing or attaching
parts. To disconnect, turn off, grasp plug
and unplug from wall. Never pull on the
cord.
• Avoid contact with moving parts. Keep
hands, hair, clothing as well as spatulas
and other utensils away from the beater,
whisk or dough hook during operation to
prevent injury or damage to the mixer.
• Don’t let rotating blades touch the mains
cable.
• WARNING: Take care when
handling metal blades they are
very sharp.
• Remove the attachments from the mixer
before washing.
• Keep hands and other utensils out of the
bowl while blending food to reduce the
risk of severe injury to persons or
damage to the unit.
• Make sure the mixer is switched off
before connecting to or disconnecting
from the mains supply.
• Do not use during cooking processes or
with boiling liquids.
• Do not operate in the presence of
explosive and/or inflammable fumes.
Children
• Do not allow children to use this
appliance. Children are vulnerable in the
kitchen particularly when unsupervised
and if appliances are being used or
cooking is being carried out.
Other safety considerations
• Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions or has been
damaged in any manner.
• Do not overfill the blender. This could
cause damage to the motor. The 3 amp
fuse will blow if the blender is
overloaded. Replace the fuse and do not
exceed the recommended volumes.

recommended by the manufacturer as
there is the danger of fire, electric shock
or personal injury.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or
electric burner or in a heated oven.

• It is advisable to operate the mixer with
the splash cover in place.
