Movable and sharp-edged units – risk of injury

• Always turn the appliance ´OFF`, wait for the motor to stop moving and then pull

the plug before taking the glass container off the motorblock or taking off the lid. It

could take about 3 seconds until the motor has completely stopped. Never leave

the appliance ´ON` when not in use.

• Never put your hands, wooden spoons or other foreign substance (such as hair,

cloth, brush, towels) into the glass container when the motor is running or the appliance

is connected to the power outlet. Always take the glass container off the motorblock

first before you push down the food with a spoon or add new ingredients.

• WARNING: The blade is very sharp. Pay attention when handling the units. Only touch

the sealing ring when handling the blade. Handle with care when cleaning. Only store the

appliance completely assembled. This way the blade will be out of reach.

• NOTE: Ensure the appliance is properly assembled and that the blade is properly

attached before putting the plug into the power outlet. Never turn the appliance on without

the lid or the refill lid. Never turn the appliance on without the glass container properly

placed on the motorblock. Never place only the holder or the blade only on the

motorblock. Never touch the drive gear when the plug is connected to the power outlet.

• Always keep one hand on the lid while processing. Using solid ingredients (such as

hard fruits or vegetable), overloading the glass container or processing with a slow

speed, the motor could stuck, stall or run very slow. In this case turn the appliance ´OFF`

to avoid overheating (see ´Trouble shooting`).

• WARNING: If the blade is mounted in the glass container, the container is positioned

on the motorblock, and the plug is connected to the power outlet, do not insert your fingers,

a wooden or plastic spoon or similar cooking utensils or foreign substances in the glass

container. Always take the glass container off the motorblock before pushing the food

down with a spoon.

• The appliance is designed for normal household quantities. Do not operate the

appliance in continuous operation for more than 10 minutes to avoid overheating.

If processing large quantities of food, regularly interrupt operation and unplug the

appliance for at least 1 minute, to let the motor cool down and avoid overheating.

• Do not chop extremely hard food, such as nuts with shell or bones because the

blade could stall or block. Do not overfill the glass container to avoid overrunning,

spurt out or that the motor stalls or stucks during operation.
