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 appli-
ance on without the lid or the refill lid. Never place only the holder or the
blade only on the motor block. 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 ingre-
dients (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 ›Trou-
ble shooting‹).
WARNING: If the blade is mounted in the blender jug, the blender jug is
positioned on the motor block, and the plug is connected to the power outlet,
do not insert your fingers, a wooden or plastic spoon or similar cooking uten-
sils or foreign substances in the blender jug. Always take the blender jug off
the motor block before pushing the food down with a spoon.
• Do not chop extremely hard food, such as nuts with shell or bones becau-
se the blade could stall or block. Do not overfill the blender jug to avoid
overrunning, spurt out or that the motor stalls or gets stuck during opera-
tion. If the motor stalls or gets stuck turn off the appliance (all buttons are
deactivated) to avoid overheating.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR ALL ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
• Always operate the appliance near a suitable wall power outlet and con-
nect 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 (220/230 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 fur-
ther information.
