IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock and/or injury to persons, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
1. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully when removing, inserting or cleaning. Exercise the same
care when removing, inserting the chopping blade or disc for the food processor and chopper
accessories. Always verify that the accessory enclosure is free of cracks or other damages.
2. The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instructions concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
3. This appliance should not be used by children and care should be taken when used near
children.
4. Remove any packaging materials and promotional labels before using the appliance for the
first time.
5. Turn the appliance off. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off
parts, and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp plug and pull from electrical outlet. Never pull
cord.
6. To protect against electrical shock, do not put the motor body, cord or electrical plug of this
hand blender in water or other liquids. Only the detachable blending shaft and other certain
parts of this appliance have been designed for immersion into water or other liquids. Never
submerge any other part of this unit. If hand blender falls into liquid, unplug first, then remove
immediately. Do not reach into the liquid without unplugging the unit first.
7. The use of attachments/accessories not sold or recommended by Braun may cause fire,
electrical shock or risk of injuries to persons.
8. Regularly inspect the power cord, power plug and actual appliance for any damage. Do not
operate if damaged in any way or after the appliance malfunctions. Immediately cease use of
the appliance and call Braun Customer Service for examination, repair or adjustment.
9. Avoid any contact with blades or moveable parts.
10. Do not use outdoors or for anything other than its intended purpose.
11. Keep hands and utensils out of the container while blending to prevent the possibility of severe
injury to persons or damage to the unit. A scraper may be used, but must be used only when
the unit is not running.
12. Detach blending shaft from the motor body before washing the blades or shaft.
13. When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, use a tall container or make small quantities at a
time to reduce spillage, splattering and possibility of injury from burning.
14. The metal blending shaft and whisk may scratch or mark non-stick coatings. Do not use in
non-stick cookware.
15. Check work bowl for presence of foreign objects before using.
16. Do not let any cord hang over the edge of the table or counter. Do not let cord contact hot
surfaces, including stovetop.
