Moving parts — Risks of injuries
The appliance is intended for cutting, chopping and mixing food. Thus,
moving/cutting parts of the appliance can cause severe injuries, when used
contrary to these instructions.
• Do not insert your hands, hair, clothes, brushes, or other foreign objects (e.g. bones, stalks
of vegetables, cooking utensils) in the feed tube of the appliance or in the outlet of the bowl,
when the appliance is connected to the power supply. Only use the provided pusher to push
down the ingredients. Do not push with violence, to avoid that the motor gets blocked.
• The blades of the tools are very sharp. Handle with care! Only touch the cutting
tools at the black plastic parts to avoid injuries. Do not attempt to use more than one set of
cutting tools simultaneously, unless it is described in the instructions in this booklet this way.
• Do not hold your face over the feed tube, while the motor is agitating, because food and
liquids could splash through the feed tube. Moreover, splinters could escape from the feed
tube, if you failed to see small pieces of bones or other hard parts (e.g. shells, stones) while
preparing the foods. DO NOT push the foods with your hands down in the feed tube, or
poke in the feed tube!
• Always assemble the appliance according to the instructions in this booklet completely and
correctly, before connecting the appliance to the power supply. Doing so, be aware, that
the motor will start IMMEDIATELY, if the ON/OFF button is set to ON at this moment. Thus,
always ensure that the appliance is always ready for working, before connecting to the po-
wer supply. Always switch OFF (indicator in the ON/OFF button goes out) the appliance via
the ON/OFF button first, when setting it out of operation. This holds also, when the motor
suddenly stops agitating due to overheating or braking of a safety interlock.
