•
After use and before cleaning, always disconnect the appliance from the mains. Never do this by pulling on
the cable; always take hold of the plug and pull out of the socket. Switch off the appliance before
disconnecting it from the mains.
•
Always unplug the blender from the mains socket when adding attachments, removing the attachments or
cleaning it.
•
Do not ever attempt to touch or interfere with the mixing blade when it is rotating.
•
Never use the blender when it is empty.
•
Do not use any attachments or spare parts that are not recommended by the manufacturer or listed in the
instruction manual. This could cause an accident and/or injuries, including the risk of electric shock or fire.
•
Never lay the mains cable beside or across sharp edges or hot surfaces. Never wrap the mains cable around
the cover of the appliance, do not pull the cable and do not lift the appliance with the mains cable because
the cable can break or the insulation can be damaged. A damaged cable must be replaced by an authorised
service engineer. The appliance must not be used or connected to a wall socket if the cable is damaged.
•
Don't put the appliance near hot objects (e.g. oven, hob, heating appliance etc.) or on any hot surface.
•
Don’t place the appliance anywhere it could slide down, fall or be knocked off accidentally.
•
Don't use the appliance in the presence of explosive or inflammable gases, vapours or liquids.
•
Do not allow anything to fall, drop or be pushed into the openings on the base unit because this could cause
injury, such as an electric shock, and may also cause damage to the appliance. Be careful not to allow hard or
other inappropriate items into the mixing jug as this may also cause an accident or damage.
•
Please check the mixing jug is fitted properly before using the blender. Never attempt to remove the mixing
jug when the appliance is connected to the mains or is being used.
•
Always ensure the motor has stopped and the blades have finished turning before removing the mixing jug.
•
Check that the speed switch is turned off (shown as '0') before connecting the blender to the mains.
•
The mixing jug will hold a maximum 1.5l of liquid. Never fill it above the maximum level marking on the side
of the jug. Reduce the quantity when using particularly thin liquids (e.g. milk) to avoid them splashing from
around the feed opening in the lid. You should only fill the mixing jug or remove food from it if the blender
has been unplugged and the jug has been removed. (It's not necessary to do this when adding small
quantities of ingredients to food in the jug via the feed opening).
•
Only connect the blender to mains electricity when it's been assembled properly. Built-in protection prevents
the appliance from working if the mixing jug isn't fixed to the base unit. Always place the lid on the mixing
jug before you start using the appliance.
•
The blender is designed for intermittent use. Allow the appliance to rest for at least 10 minutes after using it
for a maximum of 60 seconds non-stop. You may damage the blender if you don't allow it to rest for long
enough.
