IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

• To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put blender powerbase in water or other liquid
• Make sure the electrical outlet is rated at the same voltage as that stated on the bottom of the power base
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children
• Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning
• Avoid contact with moving parts
• Do not operate the blender with a damaged cord or plug or after appliance malfunctions, or is

dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest Authorized Service Centre for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment

• Do not use outdoors
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter

- Keep hands and utensils out of container while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the blender. A scraper may be used but must be used only when the blender is not running

- Blades are sharp. Handle carefully

- To reduce the risk of injury never place the cutter assembly blades on base without jug properly attached

• Always operate blender with Dualit lid in place

• This is an attended appliance

• The use of attachments, not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury
• When processing warm liquids, use heat proof gloves

• Be sure to unplug the A.C. cord when blender is not being used
• Do not plug the appliance in before checking that the voltage indicated on the rating plate is the same as the electrical supply voltage

SAFETY INTERLOCK SYSTEM

This appliance is provided with a safety system which disables the mechanism if the jug lid or blade assembly is not fitted even if the switch button is ON.

Note: Do not use the jug to switch the appliance on and off.

Only use with the glass jar and lid firmly in place, ensure the lid and plunger are correctly positioned into the Safety Interlock System, page 7. A small micro switch detects if the blade assembly is locked into the collar and is located in the correct position. If the jug and blade unit are not correctly assembled the motor will not start.

ALWAYS PLACE ONE HAND ON TOP OF THE LID WHEN THE MOTOR IS RUNNING. ENSURE SAFETY INTERLOCK IS FIRMLY ENGAGED
