IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR ALL ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
• Always operate the appliance near a suitable wall power outlet and
connect the appliance directly to the power outlet. Do not use any
extension cords or a multiple desk outlet.
• Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply corresponds
to the voltage requirements of the appliance (230 V, 50/60 Hz, AC).
Always connect the appliance directly to a mains 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 supplying electrical
circuit is strongly recommended. If in doubt, contact your local elec-
trician 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.
• 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 appli-
ance 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 con-
nected to the mains power supply. In this case, immediately unplug
the appliance and dry the appliance (see ›Care and Cleaning‹).
• Ensure that the holder is leak-proof before putting the blender jug on
the motor block. 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 surfaces. Never let any liquids run into
the motor block or underneath it to avoid electric shock. There are
louvre underneath the motor block. Ensure that no water can run into
the louvre. When liquids are spilled on the motor housing, immedia-
tely unplug the appliance and dry the motor housing to avoid risk of
