• This appliance may be used or handled by persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge (including children from 8 years and above), if they have
been given supervision and/or instruction concerning the use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety, and if they under-
stand and consider the involved hazards. Even cleaning may not be
performed by children without supervision. Children must always be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance or
any part of the appliance or the packaging. Always keep the appli-
ance where it is dry, frost-free, and clean, and where young children
cannot reach it. Do not leave the appliance or any part of it unatten-
ded, when it is in reach of young children.
• Do not place the appliance or any part of it on or near hot surfaces
(e.g. burner, heater, or oven). Do not place or immerse the appli-
ance or any part of it in hot liquids. Do not heat any parts or acces-
sories of the appliance via any sources of heat (e.g. range, fire,
oven, microwave). Do not fill in any hot food or hot beverages.
When adding ingredients during operation, do not leave liquids
run down at the exterior of the appliance. Always wipe off spil-
led liquids immediately. The appliance is designed for processing
edible food. Do not fill in any other material or foreign objects, to
avoid injuries and damage due to fire, electric shock, and over-
heating. Always observe the appropriate filling levels to avoid over-
flow and damage (see: ‘Technical Specifications’).
• Always completely remove any extremely hard and inedible parts
of fruit and vegetables, before processing (i.e. nut shells, stones,
bones). Splinters of extremely hard parts could be sharp-edged
and cause severe injuries, when getting into your food. Additio-
nally, extremely hard parts damage the surfaces of the appliance.
Do not operate the appliance continuously for more than 20 minutes
(normal load) and/or no longer than 7 minutes (high load) to avoid
