13. Always operate with the lid in place.
14. WARNING: When processing hot liquids:
• The 2-part latching lid must be securely in place. This allows steam
to escape naturally, and will prevent the lid from coming off when
the machine is turned on.
• Use caution with hot liquids. Spraying from under the lid plug can
occur, or escaping steam may cause scalding.
• Do not process hot liquids with the non-latching lid.
15. Display window area will scratch when contacted with a scouring pad or
sharp object. Use a soft cloth to wipe the control panel area clean.
16. The optional interlock switch on some 220/240 VAC Blending Stations
®
will prevent the machine from running unless the cover door is
completely closed.
17. The Blending Station cannot be cleaned with a water jet.
