SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Always place the appliance on a dry, level and firm surface well away from any edges.
- The appliance must only be switched on when the blender jug with lid has been attached and it contains liquid and/or food.
- Never pour boiling liquid or very hot food into the blender jug. Make sure that the food has a sufficiently low temperature to avoid

UK

burning/scalding in case of skin contact.

• Liquid ingredients must be no hotter than 50 °C and the blender jug must be no more than 1,200 ml full.
• Never add liquid or food above the maximum mark on the blender jug.
• Do not use the appliance if the blender jug is cracked or damaged in any way.
• Never put utensils or your hands into the blender jug while the appliance is switched on.
• Please note that the blades may still rotate for a moment after you switch off

the appliance.

• Be careful not to touch the sharp edges of the blades during use and cleaning!
• Do not lift the blender jug off the motor unit until the blades have stopped completely.
• NOTE! Do not try to remove the base and the blade unit from the blender jug! These parts must not be dismantled, as the blender jug will then not be sealed.
  • NOTE! The appliance is equipped with a safety switch to avoid accidental starts. The safety switch is only switched on if the appliance has

UK

been assembled as described in the instructions. If otherwise, the appliance will not operate! If the appliance does not start, we recommend you check the appliance assembly thoroughly.

- NOTE! This appliance is equipped with a thermal switch which switches the appliance off if the motor overheats. If this occurs, allow the appliance to cool down for half an hour so that the thermal switch can reset. If the same thing happens again immediately, this is probably because

the blender jug is too full or contains ingredients that are too hard/tough. Pour more liquid into the blender jug or empty the jug and start again with a smaller amount in smaller pieces.

- Don’t allow the appliance continuously work for more than 5 minutes when the appliance works at “Own program”, or “Pulse”. let the appliance cool before the next use

- Before using for the first time, or after prolonged storage without use, wash any parts that will come into contact with food.
