strain (i.e. mechanical or electric shock, overheating, frost, moisture) and where
young children cannot reach it.
• Operate the appliance on a well accessible, stable, level, dry, and suitable surface.
Always unplug the appliance before laying it down. Do not place the appliance or any
part of it on or near hot surfaces (heater, gas burner, grill or oven).
• Do not place the appliance near the edge of the table or counter or on inclined or
wet surfaces or where it can fall.
• Do not immerse the motor housing or power cord in water or any other liquid. Do not
pour or drip any liquids on the motor housing or power cord. When liquids are spilled on the
motor housing, immediately unplug the appliance and dry the motor housing to avoid risk of
electric shock or fire. Do not attempt to operate the appliance, when liquids are on or in
the motor housing. 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 do not touch the appliance but immediately unplug the power cord from the
power supply and dry the appliance (see Care and Cleaning).
• Do not place the motor housing 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 operation or cleaning. Do not use any hard or sharp utensils
for operation or cleaning.
• The appliance is intended for blending and mixing food. Do not use the appliance for
any other purpose. Do not use any fragile vessels with the appliance (i.e. fine drinking glasses
or china). We recommend to use medium-sized stainless steal or plastic vessels (such as
the vessle provided). During operation, ensure that the processing tool will not touch the
interior of the vessel. Do not chop extremely hard food, such as nutmeg, coffee beans and
grain.
Important Safeguards for all Electrical Appliances
• Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply corresponds to the voltage
requirements of the appliance (220/230 V, 50 Hz, AC). Always connect the appliance
directly to a mains power supply wall socket with protective conductor (earth) 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 electrician for further information.
Do not use any multiple electrical adapters.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended while connected to the power supply. Always
release the on/off button and IMMEDIATELY unplug the appliance after operation and if it is
not in use and before laying it down, cleaning and/or assembling or dismantling. Always
grasp the plug to disconnect the appliance from the power outlet.
