IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including:
1. To protect against electrical hazards, do not immerse the power cord, plug or stick mixer
motor unit in water or any other liquid.
2. Do not use outdoors or in damp or moist areas.
3. Always use the appliance handles when handling.
4. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
5. Care should be taken to avoid personal injury when handling the sharp cutting blades,
emptying the bowl and during cleaning. Use a glove or a towel for safety.
6. Always switch off and disconnect the appliance from the wall power outlet before
assembling, disassembling, cleaning or left unattended.
7. Always switch off and disconnect the appliance from the wall power outlet when not in use.
8. To disconnect, switch off the wall power outlet, then grasp and pull the plug from wall
outlet. Never pull by the cord.
9. Do not operate this appliance with a damaged cord/plug or after the appliance has
malfunctioned, been dropped or damaged in any manner. Contact Customer Service for
examination, adjustment, repair or replacement.
10. There are no user serviceable parts. If power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
11. Do not use on an inclined plane or unstable surface.
12. Keep the appliance and power cord away from the edges of benches and countertops.
13. Keep hands and utensils away from moving blades when in use to prevent the possibility
of severe personal injury and damage to the stick mixer. A plastic/silicone scraper may be
used, but only when the appliance is not running.
14. Be certain the chopper lid is securely fitted and all fittings such as blades are secure before using.
15. Do not operate the stick mixer motor unit without the attachments fitted.
16. The blender is not to be operated with an empty beaker.
17. Always cut food items into manageable pieces before processing.
18. Do not use the blender shaft for more than 2 minutes, the whisk for more than 5 minutes or the
chopper for more than 30 seconds; then let the motor cool for 2 minutes before using again.
19. Ensure the stick mixer is switched off and the blades have come to a complete stop before
removing processed contents.
20. The blender shaft blade is sharp and it rotates at high speed. So, to avoid serious injury:
a. do not switch on until the blade is inside the container
b. switch off before lifting the blade from the container
c. do not touch the blade edge – even when cleaning
d. do not plug in until just before use
e. unplug immediately after use
f. do not leave the appliance unattended while plugged in
