Important Safeguards for Electrical Appliances
The appliance is heated electrically. Place the appliance near a suitable wall power
socket to connect the appliance directly to a protected mains power supply with protec-
tive conductor (earth/ground) connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating of your
mains power supply corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (220/240
V, 50 Hz, AC, rated for 15 A).
The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.) with a maximum
rated residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly
recommended. If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information.
In various foreign countries, the specifications for power supplies are subject to incompati-
ble norms. Therefore it is possible that power supplies in foreign countries do not meat the
requirements for safe operation of the appliance. Thus, before operating the appliance
abroad, ensure that safe operation is possible.
• It is recommended not to use any extension cords. Nevertheless, if you wish to use an
extension cord, it must be connected properly with live, neutral and protective ground
conductor and a permanent loading range of at least 15 A (core diameter: at least 1
mm2).
Do not use a multi socket outlet.
• Always handle the power cord with care. Always completely unwind the power cord
before use. Do not place the appliance on a power cord. Power cords may never be
knotted, twisted, pulled, strained or squeezed. Do not let the plug or power cord hang
over the edge of the table or counter. The power cord may not touch hot surfaces. Ensure
that no one will pull the appliance by the power cord. Take care not to entangle in the
power cord. Always grasp the plug to disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.
Do not touch the power plug with wet hands while the appliance is connected to the
power supply.
Hot Surfaces – Risk of Burns
The COOK & MIX is designed for cooking and heating a variety of foods and therefore
the appliance will get hot during operation.
•
Always switch Off the mixer/blender before removing the measuring
cup or lid,
and beware of splashing hot liquid when removing the measuring cup during
operation. Beware of steam and hot condensate during operation and even some minutes
after switching off, especially when removing the measuring cup and/or lid. Protect your
hands and arms. Even with the lid properly closed and the measuring cup inserted, steam
will escape around the measuring cup, while preparing hot dishes. Do not hold your
hands, arms, face and clothes over the lid when the glass jar is still hot.
• Glass jar, jar collar, lid and measuring cup may become very hot during operation.
Only touch these parts by the handles. The heating elements are mounted at the bottom of
the glass jar in the jar collar.
Do not touch the bottom of the jar collar, shortly
after using the heater function.
