INTRODUCTION
To get the best out of your new appliance, please read this user guide carefully before using it for the first time. Take particular note of the safety precautions. We also recommend that you keep the instructions for future reference, so that you can remind yourself of the functions of your appliance.
SAFETY MEASURES
Normal use of the appliance
•Incorrect use of this apparatus may cause personal injury and damage to the appliance.
•Use for its intended purpose only. The manufacturer is not responsible for any injury or damage resulting from incorrect use or handling (see also Guarantee Terms).
•For domestic use only. Not for outdoor or commercial use.
•For connection to 230 V, 50 Hz only. The appliance must be earthed.
•Use only accompanying accessories or those recommended by the manufacturer.
•Do not submerge in water or any other liquid.
•Keep the appliance under constant supervision while in use. Keep an eye on children when the appliance is in use.
•Always place the appliance on a level, and stable surface at the back of the kitchen counter.
•Only switch the appliance on: o when the glass jug is fitted
o when the glass jug contains liquids or food
o when the lid and the stopper are in place.
•The safety device prevents the appliance from starting if the glass jug is not fitted.
•Never pour boiling liquid or food into the glass jug. Make sure the food is of a temperature, where it can be handled.
•Never fill the glass jug above the mark “1250 ml/1.25 l” on the jug.
•Do not use the glass jug, if it is any way chipped or broken.
•Never insert utensils or hands into the glass jug, while the appliance is switched on. Please note that the cutter may rotate for a while after you switch off the appliance.
•Turn off the appliance and remove the plug from the socket when cleaning, or when not in use.
WARNING: When mixing hot liquids/foods excess pressure may build up inside the blender, and this could make the lid come off and the contents splash out.
We therefore recommend that you avoid mixing excessively hot foods and that you only put very small quantities of hot liquids or foods into the blender.
Cord, plug and mains socket
•Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of a table/counter, and keep it away from hot objects and the hot surfaces of the appliance.
•Check that it is not possible to pull or trip over the cord or any extension cord.
•Remove the plug from the socket when cleaning, or when not in use. Avoid pulling the cord when removing the plug from the socket. Instead, hold the plug.
•The cord must not be twisted or wound around the apparatus.
•Check regularly that neither the cord nor plug is damaged and do not use if there is any damage, or if it has been dropped on the floor, dropped in water or damaged in any other way.
•If the appliance or plug is damaged, it must be inspected and if necessary, repaired by an authorised repair engineer, otherwise there is a risk of electric shock. Never try to repair the appliance yourself. Please contact the store where you bought the appliance for repairs under guarantee.
Unauthorised repairs or modifications to the appliance will invalidate the guarantee.
