INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
For optimum performance and long service
life of the machine, follow the installation
and start-up instructions contained in this
manual rigorously as well as the
recommended conditions of use.
Installation
Before plugging the appliance, check for a
match between the mains voltage and the
appliance voltage as specified on the
nameplate.
There is a wall mount supplied with the
appliance. Determine an appropriate location
for this support.
Directions for Use
Plug the appliance into an outlet.
Introduce the foot into the bowl, up to a
maximum of 2/3 the foot's length. For
optimum operation, it is better if the foot
does not touch the bottom of the bowl. In
order to prevent splashed food from
getting inside the motor unit, it is
recommended not to incline the appliance
more than 30º (See Figure 6).
Once finished working, unplug the
appliance if it is not going to be used
again.
In the event of overheating due to
prolonged use or overload, the thermal
switch would protect the motor, stopping
it. If this occurs, allow the blender to cool
before restarting it.
