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.
Charger lead
• The charger lead should reach without
straining the connections.
• Do not let the charger lead hang over the
edge of a worktop where a child could
reach it.
• Do not let the charger lead run across an
open space e.g. between a low socket
and table.
• Do not let the charger lead run across a
cooker or toaster or other hot areas which
might damage the cable.
Personal safety
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before cleaning or removing parts.
• WARNING: Do not touch moving
parts. Keep hands, hair, clothing as
well as utensils away from the hand
blender blades.
• WARNING: Take care when handling
metal blades as they are very sharp.
Do not touch the blade or hold the
leg at this end when fitting to the
body.
• WARNING: To remove the blender
leg, hold blender in a position so you
cannot press the operating button,
grip shaft of blender leg, press the
release button and pull apart.
• WARNING: Always remove the
blender leg before cleaning, this will
reduce accidental operation of the
blender.
• Don’t clean the blender leg under running
water while still attached to the main
housing.
• Do not use during cooking processes or
with boiling liquids.
• WARNING: To protect against fire,
electric shock and personal injury do
not immerse charger, base or
blender in water or other liquid.
Children
• Do not allow children to use this blender.
Children are vulnerable in the kitchen
particularly when unsupervised and if
appliances are being used or cooking is
being carried out.
• Teach children to be aware of dangers in
the kitchen, warn them of the dangers of
reaching up to areas where they cannot
see properly or should not be reaching.
Other safety considerations
• Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged charger lead or after the
appliance malfunctions or has been
damaged in any manner. Contact our
helpline for advice on examination and
repair.
• Do not use accessories not
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 an heated oven.
• Do not allow metal objects to touch the
charging contacts on the motor body or
blender base unit. Damage to the
batteries and charger will result.
Electrical requirements
Check that the voltage on the rating plate
of your charger corresponds with your house
electricity supply which must be A.C.
(Alternating Current).
Use only the charger unit supplied.
