safety

IMPORTANT: HOT BLENDING INSTRUCTIONS

To minimise the possibility of scalding when blending hot ingredients keep hands and other exposed skin away from the lid to prevent possible burns. The following precautions must be observed:

• CAUTION: Blending very hot ingredients may result in hot liquid and steam being forced suddenly past the lid or filler cap ①.
• We recommend that hot ingredients are allowed to cool before blending.
• NEVER exceed 1200ml / 5 cups capacity if processing hot liquids, such as soups (refer to the markings on the goblet).
• ALWAYS commence blending at a low speed and gradually increase the speed. NEVER blend hot liquids by using the Pulse setting.
• Liquids which tend to foam such as milk, should be limited to a maximum capacity of 1000ml/4 cups.
• Take care when handling the blender as the goblet and its contents will be very hot.
• Take particular care when removing the lid. The lid is designed to be a tight fit to prevent leakage. If necessary protect your hands with a cloth or oven gloves when handling.
• Ensure the goblet is securely attached to the base and when removing from the appliance, guide the base and ensure it is removed together with the goblet.
• Ensure that the lid and filler cap are securely in place before every blending operation.
• Always ensure that the vents in the filler cap are clear before every blending operation ⑩.
• When fitting the lid to the goblet always ensure that the lid and goblet rim are clean and dry to ensure a good seal and prevent spillage.

general safety

• before fitting or removing parts;
• when not in use;
  before cleaning.

• When removing the blender or mill from the power unit:
  • wait until the blades have completely stopped;
  • don't accidentally unscrew the goblet or mill jar from the blade assembly.
• SCALD RISK: Hot ingredients should be allowed to cool to room temperature before blending.
• Never run the blender empty.
• Never blend more than the maximum capacity stated in the recommended speed chart.

Nederlands

The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), this is a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder underscore. Therefore, the OCR result must ignore it and output nothing or only meaningful text. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of four underscores. This is an incorrect interpretation of the line as a placeholder, violating the rule that stylistic lines must be ignored. The OCR has hallucinated underscores where none should exist based on the GT's visual context. Hence, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.
