BEFORE FIRST USE
When using the hand blender for the first time, you may notice an "electronic smell". This is created
by residues of the anti-corrosive resin layer between the carbon brushes and the electric motor
winding.
In order for the motor of your hand blender to remain e
ffi
cient and long-lasting, it is necessary to
apply an anti-corrosion layer to electric motors to ensure trouble-free operation. Electric motors are
exposed to di
ff
erent extreme environmental influences depending on the installation location and
operating mode. In the case of a hand blender, this includes e.g. humidity and very high operating
temperatures.
Good corrosion protection is therefore crucial for the quality and service life of the electric motor.
All electrically conductive parts, e.g. the winding are protected against corrosive influences by the
required electrical properties by a resin layer. The same applies to the electrical connection parts
and terminals.
This measure avoids the formation of rust on the surface of ferrous parts and protects the latter
against the ingress of moisture and water.
When the hand blender is started up for the first time - especially under high load - very high
operating temperatures occur on the winding and the electric motor at around 17,000 rpm.
Especially when the motor is new, there may still be residues of protective resin between the carbon
brushes and the motor winding. The resulting heat and the friction of the carbon brushes on the
winding create these smells that can be perceived as "electronic smells". The smell diminishes over
time as the protective layer on the carbon brushes is gradually removed when the brush is switched
on. Depending on the thickness of the protective layer take a longer time until the odor subsides
and no longer occurs. This is not a defect or defect in the device.
