Important Safeguards
Carefully read all instructions before operating this appliance and save for
further reference. Do not attempt to use this appliance for any other than the intended
use, described in these instructions. Any other use, especially misuse, can cause severe
injuries or damage by electric shock, heat or fire.
Any operation, repair and technical maintenance of the appliance or any part of it other
than described in these instructions may only be performed at an authorised service cen-
tre. Please contact your vendor.
• This appliance is for household use only and NOT intended for use in moving vehicles.
Do not operate or store the appliance in humid or wet areas or outdoors. Any use of
accessories, attachments or spare parts not recommended by the manufacturer may result
in fire, electric shock and injuries to persons.
• Check the entire appliance regularly for proper operation — especially the power cord
and glass jar. The pins of the power plug must be clean, smooth, and without discolou-
ration. Do not use the appliance if the glass jar is damaged in any way
(e.g. scratched, cracked, or chipped). Otherwise, the glass jar could burst or leak during
operation and/or splinters could get into your foods and cause severe injuries. Do not
operate the appliance, when liquids are on the motor base or accumulate
at the rear/bottom of the appliance. Do not operate and immediately unplug the
appliance, when the appliance or any part of it is likely to be damaged, to avoid risk of
fire, electric shock or any other damage and/or injuries to persons. The appliance is like-
ly to be damaged if the appliance was subject to inadmissible strain (e.g. overheating,
mechanical or electric shock), or if there are any cracks, excessively frayed or melted
parts, or distortions, or if the appliance is not working properly. In this case, immediately
unplug the appliance and return the entire appliance (including all parts and accessories)
to an authorised service centre for examination and repair.
• During operation keep the appliance in an appropriate distance of at least 30 cm on
each side and 1 m above to furniture, walls, boards, curtains and other objects. Do not
process inflammable liquids (e.g. high-proof alcohol). Do not operate the appliance bene-
ath any heat-sensitive or moisture-sensitive materials or beneath boards or drop-lights to
avoid damage caused by steam, condensate or splashes. Operate the appliance on a
well accessible, stable, level, dry, heat-resistant, water-resistant and suitable large table
or counter. Do not place the appliance over a power cord, or near the edge of the table
or counter, or on wet or inclined surfaces or where it can fall. Always keep the appliance
and the table or counter clean and dry, and wipe off spilled liquids immediately.
• Do not place any clothes or tissue or other objects beneath or on the appliance during
operation, to avoid risk of fire, electric shock and overheating. Before operation, always
ensure that there are no foreign objects in the glass jar, and the glass jar is assembled
properly and not leaking with the lid firmly in place. Ensure that the glass jar will not tilt
or wobble on the motor base. Solely use the appliance for processing edible food.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a per-
son responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
