Never use force operating, assembling or disassembling the appliance. • WARNING: The blades are very sharp. Pay attention when handling the units. Only touch the blade assembly housing when handling the blades. Handle with care when cleaning. • Note: Ensure the appliance is properly assembled and the blade assembly housing and the silicon seal are properly attached before connecting the plug into the power outlet. Never turn the appliance `On` without the lid or inner 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. • 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. • WARNING: Never place the blender jug on the motorblock without the blade assembly housing. Without the blade assembly housing the bottom of the blender jug is open. Liquids could spill and might damage the motorblock. • If the blender jug is not securely locked on the motorblock, the unit does not work. • IMPORTANT: Ensure the blender jug is locked securely onto the motorblock and that you can not knock the appliance over during operation.
