Important safeguards for all electrical appliances

Breville recommends safety first continued
•Fully unwind the cord before use.
•To protect against electric shock, do not
immerse the cord, plug or motor base in
water or any other liquid.
•Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge
a table or bench, touch hot surfaces or
become knotted.
•This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
•Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
•It is recommended to regularly inspect
the appliance. Do not use the appliance if
the power supply cord, plug or appliance
becomes damaged in any way. Return the
entire appliance to the nearest authorised
Breville Service Centre for examination
and/or repair.
•Any maintenance other than cleaning should
be performed at an authorised Breville
Service Centre.
•This appliance is for household use only. Do
not use in moving vehicles or boats. Do not
use outdoors. Do not use this appliance for
anything other than its intended use. Misuse
may cause injury.
•The installation of a residual current device
(safety switch) is recommended to provide
additional safety protection when using
electrical appliances. It is advisable that a
safety switch with a rated residual operating
current not exceeding 30mA be installed in
the electrical circuit supplying the appliance.
See your electrician for professional advice.
DO NOT OPERATE THE BLENDER CONTINUOUSLY WITH HEAVY LOAD FOR MORE THAN 10 SECONDS.
•The motor is protected from burning out
by an automatic, temperature operated,
cut-out switch. If the blender is overloaded
or operated continuously for too long, the
motor may overheat. If this happens, the
cut-out switch will prevent the blender from
operating. To operate the blender again, you
must switch off at the power outlet, unplug
and allow to cool for approximately 30
minutes. Once the motor has fully cooled, it
is ready for use again.
