INTRODUCTION
To get the best out of your new blender, please read
through these instructions carefully before using it for
the first time. We also recommend that you keep the
instructions for future reference, so that you can remind
yourself of the functions of your blender.
SAFETY MEASURES
Normal use of the blender
• Incorrect use of the blender may cause personal
injury and damage to the blender.
• Use the blender for its intended purpose only. The
manufacturer is not responsible for any injury or
damage resulting from incorrect use or handling
(see also Guarantee Terms).
• The blender may only be connected to 20 V, 50 Hz.
• The base of the blender or cord must not be
submerged in water or any other liquid.
• Do not operate with wet or damp hands. Make sure
that no liquid gets into the base.
• Never leave the blender unattended when in use
and keep an eye on children.
• The blade must be handled with care, as it is
extremely sharp.
• NEVER insert your fingers, kitchen utensils or similar
into the blender jug while the blender is running or is
connected to the mains.
• Never remove the lid or filler cap from the blender
jug while the blender is running.
• Do not leave the blender running for more than 1
minute at a time. If it has been running for 1 minute,
you should leave it to cool down before using it
again.
• Never use the blender if the jug is empty.
• Not suitable for commercial or outdoor use.
• 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.
Positioning the blender
• Always place the blender at the back of the kitchen
counter.
• Do not place the blender next to hot areas, for
example gas rings and electric hotplates.
• Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of a
table/counter, and keep it away from hot objects
and naked flames.
Cord, plug and mains socket
• Ensure that the cord is fully extended.
• Check regularly that the cord and plug are not
damaged and do not use the blender if they are, or
if it has been dropped or damaged in any other way.
• If the blender, cord or plug is damaged, the blender
must be inspected and, if necessary, repaired by
an authorised repair engineer, otherwise there is a
risk of electric shock. Never try to repair the blender
yourself.
• Unplug the blender before replacing the blender
jug with the coffee/spice mill and vice versa, before
removing the lid from the jug or the mill, before
cleaning, and when the blender is not in use.
• Avoid pulling the cord when removing the plug from
the socket. Instead, hold the plug.
• Check that it is not possible to pull or trip over the
blender cord or any extension cord.
