Movable and Sharp-edged Parts - Risk of Injury • Always turn the appliance off (all buttons are deactivated and the LCD timer screen is switched-off), wait for the motor to stop moving and then pull the plug before taking the blender jug 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 blender jug when the motor is running or the appliance is connected to the power outlet. Always take the blender jug off the motorblock first before you push down the food with a spoon or add new ingredients. • WARNING: The blades are very sharp. Pay attention when handling the blades. Only touch the blade assembly housing when handling the blades. Handle with care when cleaning. Only store the appliance completely assembled. This way the blades 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 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 blender jug 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 blender jug, the blender jug 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 blender jug. Always take the blender jug off the motorblock before pushing the food down with a spoon. • Do not chop extremely hard food, such as nuts with shell or bones because the blade could stall or block. Do not overfill the blender jug to avoid overrunning, spurt out or that the motor stalls or stucks during operation. If the motor stalls or stucks turn off the appliance (all buttons are deactivated and the LCD timer screen is switched-off) to avoid overheating. Important Safeguards for all Electrical Appliances • Always operate the appliance near a suitable wall power outlet and connect the appliance directly to the power outlet. Do not use any extension cords or a multiple desk outlet. • Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (230/240 V, 50 Hz, AC). Always connect the appliance directly to a mains power supply wall socket with protective conductor (earth/ground) 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 leave the appliance unattended when connected to the power supply. Always turn the appliance off (all buttons are deactivated and the LCD timer screen is switched-off) and IMMEDIATELY unplug the appliance after operation and if it is not in use (even for a short break) and before cleaning and/or assembling or disassembling. Always grasp the plug to disconnect the appliance from the power outlet. 48
