turn blender OFF, remove container from base, remove
container cover, and use a thin rubber spatula to push
mixture towards cutters.
24. To prevent burns from hot liquids splashing out of the

25. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or
plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped
or damaged in any manner. Call the Technical Service

instructions on examination, repair, or electrical or
mechanical adjustment.
26. If the supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or
a similar qualified person. If fitted with a non-rewirable
U.K. plug, the 13 amp fuse approved by ASTA to be
B.S. 1362 must be used. If you need a replacement
fuse carrier, it must be replaced by the same colour
coded carrier with the same markings. Fuse covers and
carriers can be obtained from approved service agents.
IMPORTANT: If the molded plug is cut off, dispose of it
immediately. The plug is not rewirable and would cause
a shock hazard if inserted into a socket.
