Attention! The blades of the stainless steel attachment are very sharp and turn at high
speed; so they can cause severe injuries if not used according to the instructions. Never
operate the hand blender without attaching the blending attachment or with the
blades turning in the air (without being immersed in food). Never turn the blending
attachment or blades of the appliance towards people standing nearby, not even when
it is disconnected! Never touch moving parts.
Take care to avoid your hands, clothing, and other appliances or tools used coming
close to the moving parts of the operating appliance, thereby preventing accident
hazards and damage to the appliance. Avoid loose-fitting clothing and don't wear
jewellery (chains, bracelets, etc.) during work. If your hair is long, wear a scarf or cap
when using the appliance.
In order to avoid any food spilling from the mixing beaker or bowl during processing
always turn the hand blender on only when it is already immersed in the dish filled
with food (or ingredients).
Do not use the appliance to process solid food. The hand blender can only be used to
process liquid food (liquids, creams, sauces, dips). Make sure that during use the food
to be processed covers the blade in the wider part of the stainless steel attachment.
Never use the hand blender to crush ice cubes or prepare ice slush!
•
Be especially careful when mixing warm liquids or food because liquid spilled accidentally represents a
scalding hazard. When mixing hot food be sure to remove the dish with the food from the stove before
starting. Avoid mixing food hotter then 80 °C with the hand blender, as the appliance could be damaged if
the attachment comes into contact with higher temperature food; the manufacturer shall not be liable for
appliances damaged under these circumstances.
•
Always clean the blender after use, if possible immediately after the work is finished. This is important for the
hygienic use of the appliance and also because the blending attachment of an appliance whose cleaning has
been neglected can be damaged by the dried food remains. During cleaning do not put the handle with the
motor under running water or immerse it in water. Besides cleaning the blending attachment and blades
directly after use all other cleaning should only be carried out with the appliance unplugged.
Dear Customer,
All electrical and mechanical equipment needs to be cared for appropriately. It’s important
to note that using or storing the appliance in certain conditions may adversely affect its lifespan
and functionality. Always protect the appliance from the conditions listed below.
Using or storing the appliance in a wet, humid or damp environment can cause:
- deterioration and premature aging of the cover and electric insulation of the appliance,
- premature wearing and aging of the plastic and rubber components,
- rust and corrosion affecting electrical components and metal parts.
Using the appliance in a dusty environment or in the kitchen (where the air may be contaminated
with vapours from cooking oil or grease) can cause greasy dust coatings on the mechanical and
electrical elements and the casing of the appliance, which could result in electrical contact failure
or even complete breakdown, and could also damage the plastic and rubber elements.
Direct sunshine can cause:
- premature aging of the appliance,
- deterioration of the plastic and rubber parts, resulting in a risk to the user’s safety.
Continuous or commercial use of the appliance can cause:
- structural wear due to heavy use,
- overheating,
- damage to the motor.
Storing the appliance in a frosty or cold environment can cause:
- plastic and rubber parts to become fragile, resulting in a risk to the user’s safety,
- rust and corrosion affecting electrical components and metal parts.
Direct and indirect heat (e.g. being too close to an oven or a heating appliance) can cause:
- damage, deformation, softening or melting of plastic and rubber parts
- deterioration of electrical insulation, resulting in a risk to the user’s safety.
Following the operating instructions and avoiding any of the conditions listed above will help you
increase the lifespan of the appliance. The manufacturer is not responsible if the appliance is stored
inappropriately or contrary to these instructions. You are recommended to have the appliance
serviced regularly by an authorised engineer to keep it working for as long as possible.
Please respect the environment when the appliance reaches the end of its life. Electrical products
must not be disposed of with other residential waste because they can damage the natural world
and may be hazardous to human health. You should dispose of the appliance at an appropriate
recycling site or by using a collection service that specialises in electrical appliances.
•
If your appliance is damaged or operates in an abnormal way, immediately stop using it and take it to an
authorised service engineer for checking, repair or adjustment.
•
The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage that results from overuse, incorrect operation,
incorrect maintenance, neglecting the information given in the instruction manual or normal wear and
tear. In addition, the manufacturer is not responsible for damage caused by any parts of the appliance
breaking or cracking.
The power cord and plug of the appliance must not be altered in any way nor extended.
If the power cable is too short, use a standard, commercially available extension cable of
minimum 10 Amp load capacity (cables with lower load capacity could heat up during use).
When positioning the extension cable take care to avoid creating a trip hazard.
