• If you place the blender improperly, it can cause damage.

• Place the blender on a flat, dry and non-slip work surface. The work area should be easy to clean, since you can not always prevent splatter. Don’t place the blender on or near the edge of the working surface. Never place the blender on or near hot surfaces (eg. hobs, heating pipes, etc.). Note that the surface coatings of furnitures sometimes contain chemical additives which affect and soften the suction cups of the blender. In this way, residues can arise on the furniture surfaces. Therefore place a non- slip surface under the blender. The drive unit 5 is equipped with suction cups which provide a secure grip for the blender. Set the blender up that it is easy accessible and near a power outlet.page | 26
