Gastroback 40969 Design Stand Mixer Advanced - Manual (Page 6)

• Do not attempt to operate the appliance using any parts or accessories not recommended
by the manufacturer (i.e. processing tools). Especially the whisk, beater and dough hook are
sensitive to careless handling. Do not operate the appliance, when the appliance or any part
of it is likely to be damaged, to avoid risk of overheating, fire, electric shock or any other dam-
age or injuries to persons. Do not attempt to open the motor housing or to repair the power
cord. Check the entire appliance regularly for proper operation. The appliance is likely to be
damaged if the appliance was subject to inadmissible strain (i.e. overheating, mechanical
or electric shock) or if there are any cracks, excessively frayed parts, distortions or the gear
stalls or stucks. The processing tools can get damaged or bend in case of inadmissible strain.
In this case, immediately unplug the appliance and return the entire appliance (including all
parts and accessories) to an authorised service centre for examination and repair. During
operation do not block the ventilation slits at the back of the appliance.
• Always immediately unplug the appliance after each operation and before assembling or
disassembling the processing tool. Always ensure, that the processing tool is engaged firmly
before connecting the appliance to the mains power supply (see ›Operation‹). Never use
force when assembling or disassembling the processing tools. To disassemble the processing
tool push it upwards and turn it clockwise (regard the instructions ›Assembling the processing
tool‹) Always handle the entire appliance and the processing tools with care and without
violence.
• Do not lift, pull or carry the appliance by the processing tool or power cord. To move the
appliance, always hold on to the mixer stand.
• Before use, always make sure that the appliance is properly and completely assembled (see
›Operation‹).
• Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near young children. Do not
let young children play with any parts of the appliance or the packing. The appliance is not
intended for use by children or infirm persons without supervision. Take care that no one will
pull the appliance by the power cord, especially when young children are near. Place the
appliance on a clean, dry and stable surface where it is protected from inadmissible strain
(i.e. mechanical or electric shock, overheating, frost, moisture, direct sunlight) and where
young children cannot reach it.
• Operate the appliance on a well accessible, stable, level, dry, and suitable large table or
counter. Do not place the appliance or any part of it on or near hot surfaces (heater, gas burn-
er, grill or oven). Do not process hot food. Wait for the food to cool down. The rising steam
and condensation on the appliance can damage the appliance. Do not place the appliance
near the edge of the table or counter or on inclined or wet surfaces or where it can fall. Always
unplug the appliance when not in use. Place the appliance on a stable and level surface.
• Do not immerse the appliance or power cord in water or any other liquid. Do not pour or
drip any liquids on the motor head or power cord. When liquids are spilled on the motor
head, immediately unplug the appliance and dry the motor head to avoid risk of electric
shock or fire. Do not attempt to operate the appliance, when liquids are on or in the motor
head. With the appliance connected to the power supply, do not touch the appliance with
wet hands or when the appliance is damp or wet or is touching wet surfaces. In this case
immediately unplug the power cord from the power supply and dry the appliance (see ›Care
and Cleaning‹).
• Do not place the appliance, accessories or power cord in an automatic dishwasher!
• To avoid damage, do not use any abrasive cleaners, corrosive chemicals (i.e. disinfectants,
bleach) or cleaning pads for cleaning. Do not use any hard or sharp utensils for operation
