power supply wall socket with protective conductor (earth/ground)
connected properly. The installation of a residual current safety switch
with a maximum rated residual operating current of 30 mA in the sup-
plying electrical circuit is strongly recommended. If in doubt, contact
your local electrician for further information.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended when connected to the power
supply. Always turn the appliance off (all buttons are deactivated) and
immediately unplug the appliance after operation and if it is not in
use (even for a short break) and before cleaning and/or assembling
or disassembling. Always grasp the plug to disconnect the appliance
from the power outlet.
• Fully unwind the cord before use. Always handle the power cord
with care. Do not pull or strain the power cord. The power cord may
never be knotted or squeezed. Do not let the power cord hang over
the edge of the table or counter. Take care not to entangle in the
power cord. Do not touch the appliance with wet hands to avoid risk
of electric shock. Do not touch the appliance, if it is damp or wet or
is touching wet surfaces while connected to the mains power supply.
In this case, immediately unplug the appliance and dry the appliance
(see ›Care and cleaning‹).
• Ensure that the holder at the bottom of the blender jug is leak-proof
before putting the blender jug on the motorblock. Always wipe off
spilled liquids immediately. Do not immerse the motor or power cord
in any liquids or spill any liquids on it or place the motor on wet sur-
faces. Never let any liquids run into the motorblock or underneath it
to avoid electric shock. There are louvre underneath the motorblock.
Ensure that no water can run into the louvre. When liquids are spilled
on the motor housing, immediately unplug the appliance and dry the
motor housing to avoid risk of electric shock or fire. Do not attempt to
operate the appliance, when liquids are on or in the motor housing.
• If the appliance overheats, a thermal safety switch will shut off the
motor. Thus, if the motor stops unexpectedly, just unplug the appli-
ance and let it cool down for approximately 30 minutes. Thereafter,
you can use the appliance again.
