Operating instructions

• Do not place the appliance or any part of it on or near hot surfaces (e.g. burner, heater or

oven). Do not use any parts or tools of the appliance with any other device or for any other

purpose.

• Before operation, always ensure that the appliance is assembled completely and correctly

according to the instructions in this booklet. Do not use violence.

• Do not insert your fingers or any foreign objects (e.g. clothes, cooking utensils) in the

feed tube, with the appliance connected to the power supply. Do not use any hard, sharp

or edged objects (e.g. knives, forks) with the appliance. Only use the provided pusher for

feeding food into the feed tube. Do not handle the appliance or any part of it with violence.

• Always use only one matching set of tools according to the instructions in this booklet to

avoid damage. Do not process bones, nutshells or any other extremely hard items.

• Do not overfill the bowl. If the maximum filling level is reached, empty the bowl, before

continuing processing your food. When processing liquids (e.g. cream), do not fill in more

than up to filling level 500 ml. Otherwise, liquids could run out from under the lid. If liquids

run out or are spilled on the motor base, immediately unplug the appliance.

• Do not leave the appliance unattended, when it is connected to the power supply. Always

switch OFF (ON/OFF button; indicator goes out) at first, then unplug the appliance, and

wait until the motor comes to a standstill, before moving, or cleaning the appliance, or as-

sembling or disassembling any parts, or when the appliance is not in use. Always grasp the

motor base at both sides near the bottom for moving or lifting. Do not hold the appliance at

the bowl, lid, or power cord for moving the appliance. Do not place any hard and/or heavy

objects on the appliance or any part of it. Take care that no one will pull the appliance by

the power cord.

• Do not use any abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads (e.g. metal scouring pads), or any corro-

sive chemicals (e.g. bleach) for cleaning. Do not immerse the motor base or power cord in

water or any other liquid. Do not spill or drip any liquids on the motor base, or on the power

cord to avoid risk of fire and electric shock.

• Do not place the motor base or power cord in an automatic dishwasher.

• Do not leave any food dry on the appliance. Always clean the appliance after each use to

prevent a build up of baked-on foods (see Care and Cleaning). Always keep the appliance

and the tools clean.

Important safeguards for electrical appliances

The appliance is driven electrically. Place the appliance near a suitable wall power socket

to connect the appliance directly to a protected mains power supply with protective conduc-

tor (earth/ground) connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power

supply corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (230 V, 50 Hz, AC, rated

for at least 8 A).

The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.) with a maximum rated

residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly recommen-

ded. If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information.

In various foreign countries, the specifications for power supplies are subject to incompatible

norms. Therefore it is possible that power supplies in foreign countries do not meat the requi-
