be damaged. The appliance is likely to be damaged if the appliance
was subject to inadmissible strain (i.e. overheating, mechanical, or
electric shock) or if there are any cracks, excessively frayed parts, dis-
tortions or the motor stalls or stucks. 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.
• Do not overload the feeding chute and do not process anything but
ice cubes to avoid damaging the motor.
• The appliance is for household only.
Movable and sharp-edged parts – risk of injury
• Never put your hands, hair or other foreign substance (such as cloth,
brush, towels) into the feeding chute when the motor is running or the
appliance is connected to the power outlet. If the crushing gear is can-
ted or the motor stops during operation act according to the chapter
›Trouble Shooting‹.
• If you open the locking cap during operation pieces of ice could spout.
• Never hold your face over the appliance during operation. Never
open the lockingcap with your hands during operation.
Important Safeguards for all Electrical Appliances
• Always operate the appliance near a suitable wall power outlet and
connect the appliance directly to the power outlet. Do not use any
extension cords or a multiple desk outlet.
• Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply corresponds
to the voltage requirements of the appliance (220/230 V, 50-60 Hz,
AC). Always connect the appliance directly to a mains power supply
wall socket with protective conductor (earth/ground) connected pro-
perly. The installation of a residual current safety switch with a maxi-
mum rated residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying elec-
trical circuit is strongly recommended. If in doubt, contact your local
electrician for further information.
